Increasing concerns about environmental pollution and carbon emissions have prompted automakers and governments across the globe to shift focus towards zero-emission fuels and vehicles. One such promising alternative is hydrogen, which produces only water as a by-product during usage. Several companies are investing heavily in the research and development of fuel cell and hydrogen combustion technologies to power heavy commercial vehicles like trucks and buses. The global hydrogen trucks market is expected to witness significant growth in the coming years due to various government policies and initiatives supporting clean hydrogen technologies. The transportation sector accounts for a major share of carbon emissions worldwide and transitioning it to run on hydrogen will be a major step towards sustainability.
Market Dynamics:
The global hydrogen trucks market is driven by stringent emission norms worldwide, declining battery costs of fuel cells, and government subsidies for hydrogen infrastructure development and fuel cell vehicle procurement. However, high initial costs of fuel cell trucks as compared to conventional diesel trucks and lack of widespread hydrogen refueling stations currently inhibit the largescale adoption of this technology. On the positive side, focus of leading automakers as well as growing investments by national and local governments in building hydrogen economy present lucrative opportunities for market players. Partnerships across industry and academia will be crucial to accelerate cost reductions through the scaling up of mass manufacturing.
