A new study published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature has confirmed what common sense has made clear for years: hydrogen fuel cell vehicles aren’t likely to catch up to battery-electric vehicles – even for commercial trucks.
The auto industry has been divided on solutions to remove emissions from their products.
Most have been betting on battery-electric vehicles(BEV), but a few automakers have insisted on trying to make fuel cell hydrogen powertrains work.
Toyota, Hyundai, and GM have been the most resistant in giving up on the technology, which also can achieve zero-emission transport, but it is much less efficient than BEVs.
For passenger cars, it is already game over for fuel cells (FCEV).
Some of the biggest FCEV programs in the world, like the Toyota Mirai and Hyundai Nexo, have failed to gain any reactions after years and billions invested in them.
