Asia-Pacific Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle Market, By Vehicle Type (Passenger Cars (PC), Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV), Medium & Heavy Commercial Vehicle (M&HCV)), By Fuel Type, By Battery Capacity, By Country, Competition Forecast and Opportunities, 2018-2030F

Asia Pacific Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle Market is anticipated to have a high growth rate due to the rising concern over the environment; countries are adopting clean energy fuel and enhancing the emission norms of vehicles. The Government is promoting through the subsidy for the adoption of fuel cell vehicles, and with the high efficiency, low maintenance cost, and low noise, better driving experience is also driving the growth of the Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle Market.

Development in Infrastructure by Government

South Korea announced plans to construct the largest liquid hydrogen facility in the world in May. The country's chemical-focused conglomerate Hyosung Group signed a contract with Linde for a USD 244 million project to construct the plant by 2022 with a capacity of 13,000 mt/year.

Japan's prominence at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics demonstrates its dedication to hydrogen. Tokyo 2020's 'Hydrogen Olympics' will see hydrogen utilized to power the Olympic Cauldron during the opening ceremony. Additionally, the Olympic Village utilizes hot water in the cafeterias, dorms, and training facilities, as well as athlete buses and vehicles that are hydrogen-fueled. During the Olympics, a total of 500 hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicles were used. By 2030, Japan plans to build 1,000 hydrogen recharging stations for fuel-cell cars.

Developments by Manufacturers in Fuel Cell Vehicles

The Mirai sedan was unveiled by Toyota Motor Corp. globally. In March 2021, Hyundai Motor Co. introduced its Nexo crossovers and Tucson globally.

The Clarity Fuel Cell from Honda Motor Co. Ltd. is available for leasing, while the GLC F-CELL from Daimler AG has already been delivered to a small number of business and government clients. Several Chinese manufacturers, including the state-owned SAIC Motor, have created their own buses.

Two new zero-emission buses, the F12 Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bus, and the C11pure Electric Bus, were introduced in Beijing by Yuan Cheng, a subsidiary brand of Geely New Energy Commercial Vehicle Group (GCV).

Increasing Demand in Fuel Cell Vehicles

There is an increasing demand for fuel cell vehicles because they produce less carbon emission, have high efficiency, and low operating cost. Also, fuel cell vehicles provide a high range of traveling and produce more power than battery-electric vehicles. To promote the use of hydrogen fuel cells, the government has standardized to reduce carbon emissions. Because hydrogen fuel cells produce heat and water vapor as byproducts, there is a great need for hydrogen fuel cells that don't produce any toxic gases. It has benefits to switch from gasoline to hydrogen fuel cells, and hydrogen fuel cells also perform better.

Improved Range and Efficiency Due to Technological Advances

Due to its enhanced performance, quicker refilling, and longer range, fuel cell vehicles have become more and more popular in recent years. The technique also produces lower pollutants and, in addition to these benefits, helps in more power and torque. In addition, current catalyst innovations are essential for the development of fuel cell technology since they will increase durability through creative catalyst layer designs. Thus, the market for fuel-cell electric vehicles can be expected to increase significantly because of ongoing technological developments in fuel-cell technology.

Infrastructure, Price, and Safety Concerns

One of the major challenges in the adoption of fuel cell vehicles is the infrastructure for charging stations and the high prices of the vehicle. Many OEMs are building charging stations so the consumer has access to efficient charging along the way. Also, the consumers are concerned about the charging as they are worried about between stoppage of the vehicle. Hydrogen fuel cell products have greater transportation and storage expenses than gasoline-based goods. More safety issues are associated with hydrogen because it is flammable.
