Hydrogen is turning out to be a very good alternative to fossil fuels. A wide range of industries are developing hydrogen fuel cell technologies for different applications. Mobility is one of the top industries where hydrogen fuel cell can be used to reduce carbon emission. Hydrogen fuel cell powertrains in the off-highway industry will compete with battery electric powertrains in terms of the ability to scale to storage system capacity and reduce refueling time. Fuel cell solutions in the off-highway industry are nascent, with very few OEMs initiating fuel cell development and isolated testing at private test sites. However, government initiatives, public and private funding, and stringent mandates for green construction and mining projects are expected to drive the adoption of fuel cell technologies in construction, mining and agricultural applications.
Key Issues Addressed
- What will be the estimated OHW vehicles market size (in vehicle units) by 2030? What are the key equipment categories and OEMs in the market?
- What are the current hydrogen production and cost scenarios and how will they change by 2030?
- Which are the major OEMs in fuel cell market and what are their development and launch activities, and roadmap targets for 2030?
- What are some of the key partnerships in the fuel cell OHW vehicles industry? What are the regional investment scenarios in hydrogen mobility landscape worldwide?
