Revolutionizing Transportation: The Growing Hydrogen Truck Market
Key Ideas
  • The global hydrogen truck market is projected to reach USD 10.8 billion by 2035, with a 16.9% CAGR, driven by government initiatives, lower total cost of ownership, and fleet decarbonization mandates.
  • Hydrogen trucks with 30-60 kg fuel tanks are preferred for their operational efficiency and quick refueling times, providing a balance between range and payload capacity.
  • The 200-400 kW motor power segment leads the market for hydrogen buses and trucks, with applications in city buses, articulated buses, and medium-duty trucks, offering a balance between power output and vehicle range.
  • North America is expected to experience significant growth in hydrogen truck adoption due to the presence of leading fuel cell component providers, government support, and increasing adoption of hydrogen buses by transit agencies.
The hydrogen truck market is experiencing rapid growth, projected to increase from USD 1.9 billion in 2024 to USD 10.8 billion by 2035 at a CAGR of 16.9%. Fleet owners are turning to hydrogen trucks for zero-emission transportation, driven by government plans for hydrogen infrastructure, fleet decarbonization mandates, and the establishment of hydrogen technology R&D centers. Trucks with 30-60 kg hydrogen fuel tanks are popular for their operational efficiency and suitability for various transportation needs. Leading OEMs like Solaris, Hyundai, and Mercedes Benz offer models with 30-60 kg tank capacities, ideal for refuse services and long-haul transportation. The 200-400 kW motor power segment dominates the market for hydrogen buses and trucks, providing a balance between power output and range. North America, with renowned fuel cell component providers like Ballard Power and Plug Power, is a key region for hydrogen vehicle manufacturing. North America's transit agencies are increasingly adopting hydrogen buses due to their longer operational range and quick refueling times. The region's investment in FCEVs is supported by government initiatives, performance testing, and the presence of competitive companies. The report outlines key drivers like fleet decarbonization mandates, faster refueling compared to EVs, and challenges such as high initial investment in refueling infrastructure. The market offers opportunities in advancements in fuel cell technology, government initiatives, and integration with renewable energy sources.
