Higher Efficiency, Lightweight Design, and Depleting Fossil Fuel to Fuel Market Growth
The increased adoption of fuel-cell electric buses is attributed to the discovery of vast hydrogen gas through offshore reserves. This is likely to limit the increasing hydrogen fuel prices and widen the adoption of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). For instance, in January 2024, University of Lorraine researchers discovered a massive underground reservoir of natural hydrogen over 1,000 metres deep in north-eastern France, which can bring revolution in clean energy.
The increased sales of these buses are also due to the lightweight design, higher performance, longer range, and quieter functioning. Furthermore, the rising prices of crude oil due to higher import tariffs, depleting reserves, and ongoing wars around the world are also pushing end-users to seek public transport that is cheap, efficient, and sustainable. Major brands also equip new hydrogen fuel cell vehicles with their hydrogen retrofit kits.
For instance, in June 2023, Safra Automobiles (Safra Group) showcased its new hydrogen coach at UITP (Union Internationale des Transports Publics). In addition to the hydrogen retrofitted coach, the company also offers a hydrogen retrofitted coach kit called the H2- PACK, which has been developed to transform a combustion-fuelled intercity coach into a zero-emissions vehicle.
Extended Research and Development and FC-Battery Hybrid Systems to Expand Market Size
The rapid research and development programs have supported the automotive energy transition procedures while adding new fuel cells to the sector. The high cost associated with the production of hydrogen gas has led energy exploration entities to look for other fuel cells such as polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells, direct methanol fuel cells, and others. The wide variety of fuel cell types allows fuel cell buses to remain a cost-effective option for public transportation. Furthermore, the most common topology is a hybrid power system that combines fuel cells with batteries. Batteries offer the benefits of high-power density, low operating costs, and extended range, helping the market growth.
