Global hydrogen fuel cell road vehicles 2020, by type
Passenger cars are the most numerous road vehicle type using the hydrogen fuel cell technology. As of 2020, there were 25,932 such vehicles registered. Coming in second, but by a wide margin, were buses, with 5,648 of them being fueled by hydrogen. Electric vehicles will prevail in the future of the passenger vehicle industry. Hydrogen fuel cells, in this case, allow an alternative means of electricity generation when the hydrogen stored in the vehicle comes into contact with an electrochemical cell. Fuel cell electric vehicles produce tailpipe emissions consisting only of water, making them an attractive option for the future of the industry.
