Commercial & Heavy-Duty Decarbonization

Freight companies are increasingly turning to hydrogen, as battery packs reduce payload capacity and charging downtimes disrupt multi-shift operations. In recent years, Hyundai delivered a significant number of Xcient Fuel Cell trucks to domestic fleets, achieving a notable utilization rate due to quick refueling. This outperformed the utilization recorded by their battery-electric counterparts. Around the same period, Toyota and Hino initiated a pilot with several fuel-cell rigs for the Tokyo–Osaka port drayage, a route set to ban diesel in the near future. Responding to Chinese municipal decrees, cities with large populations must transition a portion of their transit buses to zero-emission powertrains within the next few years. This mandate leans towards fuel cells for routes covering longer distances. Internal fleet models suggest that operators with high annual mileage will see fuel-cell trucks reach cost parity with diesel in the coming years. With an increasing number of heavy-duty chassis surpassing this mileage, demand for these units is expected to surge rapidly over the forecast period.

Strong Government Policy & Subsidies

National and provincial treasuries are shifting from one-time purchase rebates to co-funding initiatives. These initiatives bundle together vehicles, hydrogen supply, and depot infrastructure. China is continuing its per-vehicle incentive for several years. However, the disbursement is now tied to sourcing hydrogen from renewable or industrial by-products. This move encourages fleets to opt for low-carbon supply contracts. South Korea's Hydrogen Economy Roadmap 2.0 allocates significant funding to establish heavy-duty corridors. These corridors stretch between major cities and aim to reduce payback periods for long-haul trucks to a competitive timeframe. Japan's updated Green Growth Strategy mandates that within a few years, metropolitan freight operators must ensure a notable portion of new commercial registrations are zero-emission. This effectively creates a reserved demand pool for fuel-cell trucks. India is investing heavily in viability-gap funding.

Strategic Infrastructure Investment

Operators are increasingly directing vehicles to high-throughput sites, leading to a significant rise in station utilization over the years and shortening breakeven horizons. China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation has allocated a substantial budget to construct numerous freeway stations, each designed to handle a high volume of vehicles daily, positioning itself to accommodate the anticipated surge in truck volumes. Over the next few years, South Korea’s Hyundai Oilbank and SK E&S joint venture plans to introduce several co-located electrolyzer stations, a strategy that not only cuts haulage costs but also allows them to price hydrogen competitively. Indian Oil Corporation has initiated projects at multiple sites in collaboration with Tata and Ashok Leyland bus fleets, targeting commissioning in the near future. As costs for electrolyzers and compression decrease, utilization benchmarks are trending downward, indicating that even medium-duty depots might achieve profitability sooner than expected ^[1].

Rapid Refueling Advantages

Fleet managers can now align diesel shift schedules without the need for large-scale charging depots, due to the ability to keep fill times short. Recently, Sinopec inaugurated several stations, offering city buses a swift and efficient refueling process and trucks a slightly longer but still rapid fill. Ampol of Australia is set to retrofit a number of outlets in the near future, enabling mining haulers in New South Wales and Victoria to maintain their extended duty cycles. Japan's introduction of mobile dispensers in rural prefectures has significantly reduced capital expenditures, demonstrating that station coverage can expand without the necessity of new builds. Logistics analysis reveals that trucks refueling during a single driver break see a notable utilization boost over battery-electric counterparts, a difference that effectively balances out the higher capital expenditure on vehicles. As station density increases, this refueling advantage could emerge as a pivotal factor for time-sensitive freight.

Source: Mordor Intelligence

High Upfront Costs

In 2025, fuel-cell trucks were significantly more expensive than their diesel counterparts, with a substantial price premium. This pricing dynamic restricted their adoption primarily to fleets benefiting from subsidies or those operating on long-distance duty cycles. For instance, a Hyundai fuel-cell truck required high annual utilization over several years to achieve payback, a threshold typically met by operations such as hub-and-spoke logistics or port drayage. Meanwhile, Toyota's Mirai was priced significantly higher than hybrid sedans in Japan, limiting its sales predominantly to corporate entities. In India, prototype buses were considerably more expensive than their CNG counterparts, leading municipalities to depend on central grants for purchases. To eliminate the premium in commercial classes, manufacturers aimed to significantly reduce stack costs within a few years.

Nascent Refueling Infrastructure

Station density outside of South Korea, Japan, and coastal China still falls short of supporting intercity coverage. By the mid-decade, India had established only a limited number of public dispensers, all concentrated in a few metro regions, which in turn constrained fleet operations. Indonesia, with plans for a small number of stations in the coming years, lags significantly behind the economically-driven benchmark required for efficient operations. Around the same period, Australia had a handful of urban stations, yet mining routes continued their reliance on diesel until funding for corridor expansions materialized. With high average capital expenditure per site, private investors remain hesitant, unless there's a throughput guarantee from anchor fleets.

Asia-Pacific Fuel Cell Vehicles Market Glossary of Terms
Keyword	Definition
Electric Vehicle (EV)	A vehicle which uses one or more electric motors for propulsion. Includes cars, buses, and trucks. This term includes all-electric vehicles or battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.
BEV	A BEV relies completely on a battery and a motor for propulsion. The battery in the vehicle must be charged by plugging it into an outlet or public charging station. BEVs do not have an ICE and hence are pollution-free. They have a low cost of operation and reduced engine noise as compared to conventional fuel engines. However, they have a shorter range and higher prices than their equivalent gasoline models.
PEV	A plug-in electric vehicle is an electric vehicle that can be externally charged and generally includes all-electric vehicles as well as plug-in hybrids.
Plug-in Hybrid EV	A vehicle that can be powered either by an ICE or an electric motor. In contrast to normal hybrid EVs, they can be charged externally.
Internal combustion engine	An engine in which the burning of fuels occurs in a confined space called a combustion chamber. Usually run with gasoline/petrol or diesel.
Hybrid EV	A vehicle powered by an ICE in combination with one or more electric motors that use energy stored in batteries. These are continually recharged with power from the ICE and regenerative braking.
Commercial Vehicles	Commercial vehicles are motorized road vehicles designed for transporting people or goods. The category includes light commercial vehicles (LCVs) and medium and heavy-duty vehicles (M&HCV).
Passenger Vehicles	Passenger cars are electric motor– or engine-driven vehicles with at least four wheels. These vehicles are used for the transport of passengers and comprise no more than eight seats in addition to the driver’s seat.
Light Commercial Vehicles	Commercial vehicles that weigh less than 6,000 lb (Class 1) and in the range of 6,001–10,000 lb (Class 2) are covered under this category.
M&HDT	Commercial vehicles that weigh in the range of 10,001–14,000 lb (Class 3), 14,001–16,000 lb (Class 4), 16,001–19,500 lb (Class 5), 19,501–26,000 lb (Class 6), 26,001–33,000 lb (Class 7) and above 33,001 lb (Class 8) are covered under this category.
Bus	A mode of transportation that typically refers to a large vehicle designed to carry passengers over long distances. This includes transit bus, school bus, shuttle bus, and trolleybuses.
Diesel	It includes vehicles that use diesel as their primary fuel. A diesel engine vehicle have a compression-ignited injection system rather than the spark-ignited system used by most gasoline vehicles. In such vehicles, fuel is injected into the combustion chamber and ignited by the high temperature achieved when gas is greatly compressed.
Gasoline	It includes vehicles that use gas/petrol as their primary fuel. A gasoline car typically uses a spark-ignited internal combustion engine. In such vehicles, fuel is injected into either the intake manifold or the combustion chamber, where it is combined with air, and the air/fuel mixture is ignited by the spark from a spark plug.
LPG	It includes vehicles that use LPG as their primary fuel. Both dedicated and bi-fuel LPG vehicles are considered under the scope of the study.
CNG	It includes vehicles that use CNG as their primary fuel. These are vehicles that operate like gasoline-powered vehicles with spark-ignited internal combustion engines.
HEV	All the electric vehicles that use batteries and an internal combustion engine (ICE) as their primary source for propulsion are considered under this category. HEVs generally use a diesel-electric powertrain and are also known as hybrid diesel-electric vehicles. An HEV converts the vehicle momentum (kinetic energy) into electricity that recharges the battery when the vehicle slows down or stops. The battery of HEV cannot be charged using plug-in devices.
PHEV	PHEVs are powered by a battery as well as an ICE. The battery can be charged through either regenerative breaking using the ICE or by plugging into some external charging source. PHEVs have a better range than BEVs but are comparatively less eco-friendly.
Hatchback	These are compact-sized cars with a hatch-type door provided at the rear end.
Sedan	These are usually two- or four-door passenger cars, with a separate area provided at the rear end for luggage.
SUV	Popularly known as SUVs, these cars come with four-wheel drive, and usually have high ground clearance. These cars can also be used as off-road vehicles.
MPV	These are multi-purpose vehicles (also called minivans) designed to carry a larger number of passengers. They carry between five and seven people and have room for luggage too. They are usually taller than the average family saloon car, to provide greater headroom and ease of access, and they are usually front-wheel drive.
