Hydrogen Mobility

Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles offering 300+ mile range with 5-minute refueling, optimal for long-haul heavy-duty transport. Green hydrogen production costs are falling rapidly, making hydrogen mobility increasingly viable for transportation applications.

How It Works

Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles convert hydrogen gas into electricity through electrochemical reactions, powering electric motors with only water vapor as exhaust. Advanced storage systems safely contain hydrogen at high pressure, while fuel cells provide continuous power for extended range. Green hydrogen is produced through renewable-powered electrolysis for zero-carbon fuel.

Advantages

Offers 300+ mile range with rapid 5-minute refueling. Optimal for long-haul heavy-duty transport where batteries are impractical. Zero local emissions with only water vapor exhaust. Advanced storage systems ensure vehicle safety. Green hydrogen provides pathway to zero-carbon transportation.

Challenges

Currently 2-3x more expensive than battery electric vehicles. Hydrogen refueling infrastructure requires significant investment. Green hydrogen production still scaling up for transport applications. Limited refueling station availability restricts adoption. High-pressure storage systems add complexity and cost.
