Press Releases

The global automotive fuel cell market is expected to witness a CAGR of 50.61% during the forecast period. The automotive fuel cell market is a revolutionary advancement that reduces the costs of infrastructure and other resources. The primary energy providers are either hydrogen or methane in the fuel cells. Both fuel cells are cleaner fuel sources as compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries. Factors propelling the growth of the automotive fuel cell market are the rising demand for less emission commuting, rising awareness among consumers, and initiatives by the government to provide zero-emission vehicles via subsidies and tax rebates that have forced the manufacturers to produce fuel cell vehicles globally. Governments of various countries have increased their investment in hydrogen fuel infrastructure and provide incentives to buyers, which will create promising opportunities for original equipment manufacturers to expand their revenue and vision.

Ballard Power System collaborated with MAHLE to commercialize a zero-emission fuel cell system for heavy and medium-duty trucks.

The COVID-19 outbreak had impacted vehicle production due to the complete lockdown but is anticipated that the market will again gain momentum in 2022. The FCEV manufacturers had a moderate impact on production because there was a  demand for zero-emission vehicles during the second half of 2020, resulting in the rise in demand for the automotive fuel cell market.
