Fuel Cell

Is hydrogen fuel-cell tech better than big batteries, or practical on a large scale where it could help buffer renewable energy? A test power plant from Toyota and the SOE seeks to examine that.

Hydrogen needs to be stored in cylindrical tanks, so it presents far greater packaging challenges than batteries.

The first fuel-cell vehicle from its Genesis luxury brand is also on hold, leading to some speculation about rejiggered priorities.

The truck uses two onboard fuel cells with a 300-kw combined capacity supplied by Cellcentric, a joint venture with Daimler.

The roomy people-mover gets nearly 500 miles of range from a battery pack the size of a base Nissan Leaf—thanks to an additional hydrogen fuel cell.

With wait times long for cleaner new semis, hydrogen fuel cells might be able to get more diesel trucks off the road sooner.

The only place in the Toyota lineup you can get the automaker's most advanced driver-assistance system is in the hydrogen fuel-cell Mirai.

Even in trucking, where the need for large battery packs has been a limiting factor, battery-electric vehicles outnumber fuel-cell vehicles and aren't expected to lose ground—although fuel-cell tech might make sense for some applications.

General Motors is looking to a partnership with a Utah company to commercialize its fuel-cell tech in mobile-generator form.

The plan also includes money for zero-emission vehicle manufacturing, on the way to a 2035 target for a shift entirely to battery-electric and fuel-cell vehicles.

The chemical company Ineos is now aiming to produce green hydrogen, as well as a fuel-cell version of its Grenadier SUV.

Hyundai is supporting an expansion of hydrogen fueling infrastructure, with development of the new stations starting in 2021.

Just as with battery electric cars, driving the Mirai fuel-cell EV very slowly accomplishes far more than its rated range.

By 2026, California will have more than 176 hydrogen stations, enough to support approximately 250,000 fuel-cell vehicles, according to the report.

An upcoming facility in Lancaster, California, claims to reduce CO2 beyond what's otherwise referred to as green hydrogen.

The upstart hydrogen fuel-cell truck company will use hydrogen fuel-cell stacks and more from the German supplier Bosch.

BMW wants to bring recycled content in its cars to 50%, and plans to cut lifecycle carbon-dioxide (CO2) emissions 40% by 2030

Hyundai's Genesis luxury brand said that its lineup will consist of performance hydrogen fuel cells and battery electrics, with innovation in seating, heating, and sound.

Among global automakers, Hyundai has one of the most ambitious plans for a hydrogen society and fuel-cell uses far and wide.

A modular system to fit into the same space as a diesel engine and transmission will be made in Kentucky, where Toyota and Lexus sedans are made.
