2. Understanding Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles (HFCVs) 2.1 How Hydrogen Cars Work Hydrogen cars use fuel cells to combine hydrogen and oxygen, producing electricity to power the motor. Water is the only byproduct,
“What I have in my mind is that the [battery] EV era comes first, and the next phase is fuel-cell cars,” said Katsushi Inoue, CEO of Honda India as of the beginning of this year and former Europe chief, in his capacity leading the company’s electrification efforts. “The fuel cel...

In recent years, there have been numerous innovations in the automotive market. One that stands out, in particular, is hydrogen-powered cars, also called Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCVs). Their principle of operation is similar to that of ordinary vehicles running on gas or diesel. There ar...
With both hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles and pure electric vehicles (EVs) being the key development areas in China, how do hydrogen-powered vehicles stack up against EVs in terms of sustainability, efficiency, and useability? Hydrogen cars vs electric vehicles: Which one is more sustainable?
Hydrogen fuel cell cars are quite simply the future of the automotive industry. These vehicles are electric vehicles that use ahydrogen fuel cellfor power instead of a battery pack. Most of the major automobile manufacturers today have one or more hydrogen fuel cell cars in their lineup of pro...
6.3.2Fuel cell vehicles Technology advantages:Hydrogen fuel cellvehicles andpure electric vehiclesare both electric vehicles. The difference is that the pure EV is charged directly to thebattery, while the fuel cell vehicle uses hydrogen to generate electricity by chemical reaction of hydrogen withoxyg...
Hydrogen cars have been around for many years now but the first one was built by General Motors in 1966. Today, Toyota is the leader in H2...
BMW iX5 hydrogen – a pilot project for H2-powered cars. For the BMW iX5 Hydrogen, the BMW Group developed the world’s most powerful passenger-car fuel-cell system and a special, dedicated battery. Together, these two elements enable consistently high speeds and an electric output of 295 ...
We look at the chemistry of water-emitting fuel-cell electric cars (FCEVs) and how the tech might save motoring as we know it
