The hydrogen truck market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $3.42 billion in 2025 to $4.45 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 30.2%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to concerns over diesel emissions, early hydrogen truck pilot programs, government clean freight initiatives, rising freight volumes, and advancements in fuel cell technology.
The hydrogen truck market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.91 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 30.5%. Growth during the forecast period is expected to be supported by stringent emission regulations, expansion of green logistics, declining hydrogen costs, development of refueling infrastructure, and fleet decarbonization commitments. Major trends during the forecast period include increasing deployment of hydrogen long-haul trucks, rising adoption in heavy-duty freight transportation, expansion of hydrogen refueling corridors, greater focus on zero-emission logistics, and integration of advanced fuel cell powertrains.
The rising demand for clean freight transportation is expected to drive the growth of the hydrogen truck market going forward. Clean freight transportation refers to the use of environmentally sustainable methods and technologies to transport goods while reducing the carbon footprint and harmful emissions associated with conventional freight systems. It includes electric, hydrogen-powered, and hybrid vehicles, as well as alternative fuels such as biofuels and natural gas. The demand for clean freight transportation is increasing due to growing awareness of the harmful effects of carbon emissions and environmental pollution associated with diesel-powered trucks. Hydrogen trucks help address the demand for clean freight transportation by offering an environmentally friendly and efficient alternative to conventional diesel-powered trucks. Powered by hydrogen fuel cells, these trucks emit only water vapor as a byproduct, eliminating harmful greenhouse gas emissions and reducing air pollution. For instance, in April 2025, according to the Department for Transport, a UK-based government department, transport accounted for 49% of NOx emissions, 26% of PM2.5 emissions, and 20% of PM10 emissions in 2023, representing a 1 percentage point increase from 2022. Therefore, the rising demand for clean freight transportation is driving the growth of the hydrogen truck market.
Major companies operating in the hydrogen truck market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as fuel cell-powered trucks, to improve sustainability in freight transportation. These trucks are equipped with zero-emission fuel cell technology and are designed to reduce carbon emissions while maintaining efficiency in logistics operations. For instance, in February 2025, the BMW Group, a Germany-based automotive manufacturer, launched its first hydrogen-powered trucks for regular operations under the European H2Haul project. The trucks offer quick refueling and extended driving ranges, making them a valuable complement to electric trucks for long-distance transportation. Unlike battery-electric trucks, hydrogen-powered trucks do not require an extensive charging network, providing greater logistical flexibility. BMW has deployed two IVECO S-eWay Fuel Cell trucks in Germany as part of a 16-truck European fleet supported by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership to advance zero-emission freight transportation.
In August 2025, Hyroad Energy, a US-based hydrogen-powered fleet services company, acquired the hydrogen fuel cell-related assets of Nikola Corporation for $3.85 million. Through this acquisition, Hyroad Energy gains immediate access to 113 Class 8 hydrogen fuel-cell trucks, spare parts, software platforms, operational infrastructure, and intellectual property, allowing it to rapidly expand its zero-emission fleet and accelerate the deployment of hydrogen-powered heavy-duty freight services. Nikola Corporation is a US-based manufacturing company specializing in hydrogen fuel-cell and battery-electric heavy trucks and related zero-emission vehicle technologies.
Major companies operating in the hydrogen truck market are Toyota (GB) PLC, Hyundai Motor Company, Daimler Truck AG, AB Volvo, PACCAR Inc, Nikola Corporation, Hyzon Motors Inc, Tevva Motors, H2X Global Limited, Symbio One, Renault Trucks Corporate, Beiqi Foton Motor, Dongfeng Motor Company, Great Wall Motor Company Ltd, Iveco, MAN Truck & Bus AG, Scania AB, Hino Motors Ltd, Xiamen King Long International Trading Co Ltd, Ballard Power Systems, Cummins.
