Key Trends in the Market

A hydrogen powered tractor refers to a tractor that uses hydrogen as its primary power source. Tractors are large and sturdy vehicles that are used for a variety of agricultural tasks like harrowing, tilling, ploughing, and planting, and carrying heavy loads across agricultural lands. They are also used in mining and other industries to transport bulky loads particularly on uneven lands. Hydrogen is used in fuel cells, which use hydrogen and oxygen to react to produce mechanical energy and power motors.

• The key hydrogen powered tractor market trends include technological developments, the potential of the market for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, and support of various governments for the expansion of agricultural activities. Unlike fossil fuel vehicles, hydrogen powered vehicles don’t release harmful greenhouse gases (GHG) into the atmosphere while it is in operation, resulting in more eco-friendly operations.
• Hydrogen fuel cells are considerably more efficient than fossil fuel powered vehicles, and accordingly hydrogen powered tractors are expected to offer greater efficiency and cost savings in the long-term. The enhances efficiency and cost savings are anticipated to increase the adoption of hydrogen powered tractors by various end users.
• Technological advancements in hydrogen powered vehicles are likely to support the growth of the hydrogen powered tractor market, by increasing the applications and functionalities of the tractors. Improved developments of fuel cells would further catalyse the growth of the market for hydrogen powered vehicles.

Global Hydrogen Powered Tractor Market Share by Product

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) are expected to account for a sizable share of the market for hydrogen powered tractors based on product due to their high power density and low weight. As they can be operated in relatively low temperatures, they can start up quickly with less warming time required. The need for PEMFC will be further fuelled by the rise of commercial, medium, light, and heavy-duty vehicles with extremely low-harmful discharges.

Global Hydrogen Powered Tractor Market Share by Application

Agriculture applications are anticipated to witness significant growth in the market for hydrogen powered tractors to improve agricultural output, reduce need for labour, and lower operational costs. Hydrogen fuel cell technologies can be applied to agricultural tractors to replace internal combustion engines and reduce emissions without the drawbacks associated with large electric vehicle batteries. Increased mechanisation of agricultural activities and rising use of tractors in various agricultural tasks are anticipated to spur the hydrogen powered tractor market growth.
