Global Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle Market Definition

Hydrogen powers Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs). They are more efficient than traditional internal combustion engine vehicles and emit no exhaust. They emitted only water vapor and warm air. Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles and the hydrogen infrastructure required to fuel them are still in their infancy. The US Department of Energy is leading research efforts to make hydrogen-powered vehicles a cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and safe mode of transportation. Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles employ a propulsion system similar to that of electric vehicles, in which hydrogen energy is converted to electricity by the fuel cell. These vehicles, unlike conventional internal combustion engine vehicles, emit no harmful tailpipe emissions. Other advantages include increased energy resiliency in the United States and economic growth.

Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles are powered by pure hydrogen gas stored in a vehicle tank. They can fuel in less than 4 minutes and have a driving range of over 300 miles, just like conventional internal combustion engine vehicles. Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles are outfitted with additional advanced technologies to improve efficiency, such as regenerative braking systems, which capture and store braking energy in a battery. In certain markets, major automakers are offering a limited but growing number of production Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles to the public, in line with what the developing infrastructure can support.
