Fuel Cell Vehicles — Revolutionizing Automotive Industry
RNCOS E-Services Private Limited, June 2005, Pages: 120
The world automotive industry is about to witness a revolution—a revolution that will be ushered in by fuel cell technology. In the future, we will see light and heavy vehicles powered by eco-friendly efficient energy sources. The fuel cell technology is yet to be introduced in the mass market, but it has been predicted that, in the years to come, this technology will be the most significant long-term source of power for petroleum and emission-free, mass-produced light vehicles, as well as some of the heavy vehicles.
Over a decade, there has been intensive research and development on the fuel cell technology and the researchers are endeavoring to solve the technical hurdles associated with this technology. It is a challenging path ahead for the fuel cell vehicles, as, so far, they have been utilized only as prototypes or demonstration models and are yet to penetrate into the mainstream automotive market. However, a strongly committed and diligent industry of countries like Japan, Australia, and Canada, along with the full-fledged support of their respective governments, is working towards developing and deploying hydrogen-powered vehicles and the related infrastructure.
It has been estimated that commercialization of this technology will render a steep rise in the fuel cell sales from $25 million in 2000 to $450 million in 2005. Fuel cell technology is ideally suited for large-scale and heavy industrial applications. Although fuel cell technology will take some years to be introduced in the market, billions of dollars have been invested by major automakers in the development of fuel cell technology, looking at the increasing demand for fuel-efficient, low-emissions vehicles.
The market research report titled 'Fuel Cell Vehicles - Revolutionizing Automotive Industry' reveals the efforts that are being put globally to overcome the technical and economical hurdles with an aim to change the future of the automotive industry.
