Fuel Cell

Will a hydrogen network for commercial fuel-cell trucks become viable before a charging network for electric trucks? Plans are forming for both.

The hydrogen hubs potentially relying on fossil fuels and coal are shaping up to be anything but a green deal—although they could serve as a template for a greener model.

Hydrogen for heating, manufacturing, and transportation would be made with energy from natural gas, nuclear, biomass, and coal sources, as part of federally funded green infrastructure.

Such a vehicle might be built on one of four dedicated EV platforms introduced last month by Jeep parent Stellantis.

The federal government has filed criminal charges against Nikola founder Trevor Milton, alleging securities fraud over misleading statements about its hydrogen and electric trucks.

To be made in very limited numbers, the i Hydrogen Next SUV is a version of the BMW X5 SUV and represents a fuel-cell partnership with Toyota.

The automaker upped its investment in green technology through 2025 to $35 billion, with additional U.S. battery factories and new hydrogen fuel-cell projects.

A fuel-cell version of the go-anywhere luxury SUV might give it a low carbon footprint without it being a battery heavyweight.

Hyundai is considering a solution that depends on both battery packs and hydrogen tanks—and it won't use that much more battery than the upcoming electric pickups.

Newcomer Viritech plans to becme a fuel-cell tech enabler—with the Apricale its poster car—but it has no plans to scale up as an automaker.

Teammate "Advanced Drive" appears to offer some of the functionality of Navigate on Autopilot, with a more conservative approach than Tesla.

Modules based on the fuel-cell system from the Mirai can be packaged in a plug-and-play solution for some very large vehicles.

The Rasa has a very different focus than the heavy-truck and industrial purposes large automakers are seeing for hydrogen fuel cells.

The 2021 Toyota Mirai claims to have better than zero-emissions by filtering the outside air, but it ignores the emissions of hydrogen sourcing.

In partnership with Blue World Technologies, Karma Automotive will test a fuel-cell car you'll fill up with liquid methane.

Since hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles are mostly leased, automakers will absorb the difference—for now, and depending whether the Biden administration helps renew the credit.

An outage highlights the bizarre logistics related to keeping hydrogen fuel-cell models like the Toyota Mirai, Honda Clarity Fuel Cell, and Hyundai Nexo fueled.

A potential issue with the brake booster could cause Kona Electric and Nexo models to exhibit reduced braking power; the solution is a software update.

The 2021 Mirai moves to a rear-wheel drive platform borrowed from Lexus and gets improvements to the fuel cell stack, the interior, and the tech throughout.

The global automaker and industrial giant hopes to expand its use of hydrogen fuel-cell tech far beyond small cars.
