Hydrogen mobility: A rougher road than anticipated
Despite technological strides and ambitious rollouts, the hydrogen highway is proving far more rugged than anticipated.
Once heralded as a promising alternative to battery-electric vehicles (BEVs), hydrogen-powered mobility now finds itself at a crossroads, grappling with infrastructural bottlenecks, economic impracticalities, and a highly niche market, especially in the light vehicle segment. General Motors’(GM) recent announcement to discontinue hydrogen fuel cell development, along with Stellantis’ recent decision to shelve its hydrogen fuel cell program and the liquidation of HYVIA - a joint venture between Renault and US hydrogen firm Plug Power - underscores the mounting headwinds facing fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) industry.
