The study, Global Market for Hydrogen Fuel Cell Commercial Trucks, provides an in-depth analysis of this emerging market. The study segments the market into light- and medium-duty trucks and heavy-duty trucks, providing sales and revenue forecasts for major world regions through 2035 for both segments.

This is one of the most comprehensive and timely studies on hydrogen fuel cell trucks. It discusses hydrogen fuel cell truck-maker strategies and provides their in-depth profiles. The study discusses factors differentiating hydrogen fuel cell trucks with trucks running on other power sources, and their market impact.

Well over 800 thousand hydrogen fuel cell trucks and goods-carrying commercial vehicles will be sold by 2035. These include both heavy-duty trucks as well as light-duty and medium-duty trucks. Because of their unique characteristics, fuel cell heavy-duty trucks are already outcompeting similar battery-electric models, particularly for long-haul routes.

There is a particular industry interest in transitioning heavy-duty diesel trucks to zero-emission because diesel trucks are the biggest contributors to carbon emissions on roadways. Until the second half of the 2020s, battery-electric trucks will remain competitive with fuel cell medium-duty trucks. Battery-electric trucks will become less competitive as more hydrogen stations are built and as the prices of fuel cell, medium-duty trucks fall.

Smaller battery-electric trucks will have an edge over hydrogen fuel cell trucks until early thirties. Smaller battery-electric trucks will lose that edge as light-duty fuel cell trucks hit lower price points and as hydrogen stations become more pervasive.

The biggest impediment to the adoption of hydrogen fuel cell trucks so far has been the cost of these vehicles. However, several factors have converged to bring the prices of these trucks down.


Hydrogen fuel cell trucks have several advantages over battery-electric trucks, including the following:

1. These vehicles are lighter than battery-electric vehicles, making them better suited to carry heavy cargo. 
2. These trucks travel longer distances than battery-electric vehicles, making them better equipped for long-haul transportation. 
3. Hydrogen fuel cell trucks are capable of rapid fueling similar to diesel trucks, unlike the time-consuming charging of battery-electric trucks. 
4. The routes of heavy-duty and medium-duty trucks are mostly predictable which lowers the barriers to building a hydrogen fueling infrastructure.

In the long run, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles will dominate the market for trucks and commercial vehicles.


Scope of Report

This is one of the most comprehensive and timely studies on hydrogen fuel cell trucks. It discusses hydrogen fuel cell truck-maker strategies and provides their in-depth profiles. The study discusses factors differentiating hydrogen fuel cell trucks from trucks running on other power sources, and their market impact.

The focus of this study is the commercial hydrogen fuel cell trucks. The study provides an in-depth analysis of this emerging market. The study segments the market into light-duty and medium-duty trucks, and heavy-duty trucks, providing sales and revenue forecasts for major world regions through 2035 for both segments. The study does not cover buses and passenger vehicles.


Classification of Trucks

In this study, commercial trucks are classified in the following two categories:


  • Light-duty trucks and medium-duty trucks Heavy-duty trucks

The publisher would also like to note that the term “new energy vehicles,” as used in this study, encompasses three types of vehicles: hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, battery-electric vehicles, and gasoline-electric plug-in hybrid vehicles.

Unless otherwise stated, the term sales, as used in this study, also covers leases.


Light-Duty Trucks

Light-duty trucks are generally car-sized and may include pick-up trucks, panel trucks, and postal vehicles. Light-duty trucks weigh under 10,000 lb. Under U.S. Federal Highway Administration classification, they are Class 1 and Class 2 trucks. PA


Medium-Duty Trucks

Medium-duty trucks are generally used for local deliveries and public services and may include flatbed trucks, box trucks, dump trucks, tow trucks, and firetrucks. Medium-duty trucks weigh between 10,001 lb and 26,000 lb. Under the U.S. Federal Highway Administration classification, they are Class 3 to Class 6 trucks.


Heavy-Duty Trucks

Heavy-duty trucks are generally used for long-haul transportation of goods and may include city transit vehicles, mobile cranes, cement mixers, garbage trucks, tractor trailers, and semi-trailers. Heavy-duty trucks weigh 26,001 and above. Under U.S. Federal Highway Administration classification, they are Class 7 and Class 8 trucks.
