Hydrogen vehicles: Fuel of the future?
The vehicle which uses hydrogen as a fuel for motive power is known as hydrogen fuel cell vehicle. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles produce lower emissions and work on hydrogen compressed into a fuel cell, which generates electric power to run the vehicle. The hydrogen fuel cell can be integrated with an electric motor to producing less air pollution and noise pollution. Hydrogen fuel cell have several benefits such as easy maintenance, lower gas emissions, silent functioning of the vehicle that reduces noise pollution, low-temperature fuel cells that have less heat transmission like PEMFC and DMFC, which is model for military applications, etc., are some of the factors expected to boost the growth of the market.
Technological enhancement in motor vehicles such as the
development of hydrogen fuel cell vehicle and increasing government initiatives
for development and improvement of infrastructures of the hydrogen fuel cell is
some of the major factor driving the growth of the global hydrogen fuel cell
vehicle market. However, the high cost of the vehicle, low durability, no
proper distribution channel, and less awareness among people are some of the
major factors restraining the growth of the global hydrogen fuel cell vehicle
market. Many of the nations have developed hydrogen infrastructure projects to
meet the growing demand for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles will boost the growth
of the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle market.
