A fuel cell electric vehicle is an electrically driven vehicle in which electricity is generated by a fuel cell using hydrogen as an energy source. The electric drive converts the energy into motion. Alternatively, this energy can be temporarily stored by the traction battery.

Fuel cells come in a variety of different types, differing in the electrolyte used, operating temperatures, and applications. A great deal of research has been done into these fuel cell technologies as an alternative source of power for commercial applications, ranging from hydrogen-powered forklifts in warehouses to energy storage to EVs and power generation support in …

This study critically examines these key issues, explores various fuel cell technologies and drivetrain architectures, and provides a comparative analysis of different energy storage systems. Furthermore, the study delves into the classification and evaluation of energy management strategies (EMS) for FCEVs.

The chapter discusses the fuel cell sizing and the sourcing of the hydrogen fuel. A fuel cell can be viewed as being a “combustion‐less engine” as it produces electrical energy through the electrochemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen.

2024年2月26日 · In this study, we propose a novel FCEV powertrain layout using dual fuel cells to uncover hidden fuel efficiency improvement factors in comparison with the conventional Single Fuel Cell System (SFS).

2024年5月1日 · The energy distribution and conversion between the fuel cell (FC) and the battery are realized by the powertrain in fuel cell vehicles (FCVs). In this study, the cost and efficiency of a novel powertrain based on the dual winding motor are assessed and compared with the mainstream powertrain.

Bosch offers modular, scalable, and local fuel cell solutions for commercial vehicles. The powertrain unfolds its full potential in particular in continuous, long-haul operation of fleet vehicles with high payloads and daily travel distances in excess up to 1000 km.

2025年1月1日 · In this context, fuel cell systems (FCS) have become one of the key technologies in the pathway to decarbonization. Given that road transport is a major contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, this paper focuses on a specific segment of this sector: light commercial vehicles (LCVs).

On this page, explore key cost and performance metrics for fuel cell electric vehicles, including modeled vehicle price, fuel economy, levelized cost of driving (LCOD), and emissions. Caveats for comparing powertrains are listed on the Light-Duty Vehicle Comparison page .

In 2014, Toyota launched the MIRAI fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV),and has since sold approximately 28,000 units across more than 30 countries and territories. Additionally, since 2019, Toyota began supplying FC systems for use in other applications, such as buses, railroads, and stationary power generators, supplying more than 2,700 units to ...
