Fuel Cell Powertrain is an electrically powered device in which a fuel cell transforms energy stored as hydrogen into electricity. It may be used in material handling, emergency backup control, and transportation. The fuel cell power train is highly efficient and environmentally safe since it does not emit toxic emissions, unlike the internal combustion engine. The powertrain fuel cell is an inexpensive zero-local-emission mobility technology. This is part of a hybrid fuel cell vehicle, in which a fuel cell produces electricity using hydrogen as an energy supply. Continuous technological developments in the automobile industry are substantially boosting the development of the powertrain fuel cell sector worldwide. The growth of the fuel cell powertrain market can primarily be due to the environmental issues regarding vehicle GHG emissions. Growing government efforts to build hydrogen networks offer an incentive for potential growth in the demand for fuel cell powertrains. Battery-powered electric cars, hybrid electric vehicles, fuel cell vehicles, compression ignition (CI) or park-ignition (SI) engines, and advanced internal combustion engines are all automotive developments (ICE). Vehicles with fuel cells that use hydrogen give lower emissions due to their low emission technologies; this makes their adoption feasible. In fact, over the projected timeframe, this is projected to drive the global demand for fuel cell powertrains.

Fuel Cell Powertrain Market


Vehicles with fuel cells that use hydrogen give lower emissions due to their low emission technologies; this makes their adoption feasible. The fuel cell power train is a decarbonized source of energy, replacing existing fossil fuel supplies (such as coal, oil, and natural gas) with energy sources that produce much less carbon dioxide (such as wind, solar, and nuclear energy). This property of fuel cell powertrain is driving its demand in the global market. Strong energy density and fuel cell powertrain fast refueling properties are also contributing to growth of the market for fuel cell powertrain.


Based on region, the fuel cell powertrain market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the rest of the world. During the projected era, Asia-Pacific is anticipated to dominate the fuel cell industry. Factors that push the regional market growth are the development of new infrastructure capabilities and opening up the market to foreign companies, which drives the growth of the market in this region. Europe is also expected to hold a critical share of the fuel cell powertrain market due to increased efforts by manufacturers to reduce the weight of cars to optimize their performance.


Industry Updates
