Hydrogen Powered Transport Market Growth Factors: What’s Supporting Expansion?
The growing number of commercial vehicles is expected to propel the growth of the hydrogen-powered transport market going forward. Commercial vehicles are automobiles primarily designed and used for transporting goods or passengers for commercial purposes. Hydrogen-powered transport in commercial vehicles offers zero emissions, reduced air pollution, energy efficiency, versatility, reduced dependence on fossil fuels, noise reduction, and quick refueling. For instance, in September 2024, according to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), a UK-based trade association, the commercial vehicle (CV) plants have produced 78,805 units in 2024, a rise of 5.8% from 74,505 in 2023. Therefore, the growing number of commercial vehicles is driving the growth of the hydrogen-powered transport market.

Hydrogen Powered Transport Market Industry Trends: What’s Reshaping Demand?
Major companies operating in the hydrogen-powered transport market are developing new products such as high-performance hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle platform to gain a competitive edge in the market. A high-performance hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) platform refers to an advanced and versatile foundation for designing and manufacturing vehicles that use hydrogen fuel cells as their primary source of power. For instance, in September 2023, WAE Technologies Ltd., a UK-based technology and engineering services company launched EVRh. The platform has a lightweight composite frame and is intended to showcase the capabilities of hydrogen-powered powertrain systems. The platform’s main component is a liquid-cooled FCEV battery pack with 430kW of power capacity. EVRh can produce 550kW when combined with the 120kW hydrogen fuel cell. Due to the platform’s design versatility, manufacturers are able to produce roadgoing versions of both fixed-roof GT type and open-roof Targa vehicles with maximum power-to-weight.
