Fuel Cell Commercial Vehicle Market Analysis
The fuel cell commercial vehicle market was valued at USD 2 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow to USD 14 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of over 40% during the forecast period (2022 - 2027).
The COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the global automotive industry. However, the impact was relatively low due to the beginning stages of the technology and its usage. However, most alternative fuel commercial vehicles (buses) were used in public transport worldwide, which took a huge blow in monetary terms due to the lockdown and social distancing norms.
Some of the major factors driving the market's growth are the enactment of stringent emission norms, growing mass urban transportation, rising demand for alternate fuel vehicles, and continuous government support. However, environmental concerns related to hydrogen production may hinder the market's growth.
Some key players dominating the market studied are Toyota Motor Corp., New Flyer America, and Wrightbus. Fuel cell buses are commercially being used in the United States. In February 2019, Ballard Power Systems announced the launch of 40-foot and 60-foot Xcelsior fuel cell-electric buses (FCEBs), powered by Ballard FCveloCity-HD 85 kilowatt (kW) modules. They completed rigorous testing at the Altoona Bus Research and Testing Center under the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) program.
