Top 5 Hydrogen-Powered Vehicles : People when green vehicles are mentioned. With time, though, hydrogen fuel vehicles are now slowly entering the Indian market. Come 2025, some interesting hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCEVs) would be developed or subjected to testing for launch in years to come. These vehicles are powered by hydrogen gas to produce electricity, the only end product being water vapor. Hence, they are the greenest in terms of our mode of transportation.
Here are five absolutely little-known hydrogen vehicles that may become important to cleaner mobility in the future for India:
1. Toyota Mirai
One of the more recognized hydrogen vehicles in the world, the Toyota Mirai is, as we speak, being evaluated on Indian roads. It is futuristic in design and gives an unbelievable range of almost 600 km on full tanks, representing Toyota’s dream of zero-emission driving. The company is teaming up with Indian Oil to set up hydrogen refueling stations in some pilot areas.
2. Hyundai NEXO
Hyundai is preparing to introduce its hydrogen SUV NEXO in India. The range and specifications are comparable to that of the Mirai. It boasts modern technology and features like ADAS, digital cockpit, and connected tech. Testing will begin in 2025 in a limited way in Hyundai cities developing hydrogen infrastructure.
3. Tata Starbus FCEV
Tata Motors is experimenting with hydrogen in its Starbus Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle. This hydrogen bus is designed for public transport as part of a green mobility project since it promises a clean and quiet ride, just what is required from city buses.
4. Ashok Leyland Truck
Ashok Leyland is working on hydrogen-powered trucks for heavy-duty applications. These trucks are intended for long-haul, promising emission cuts with power performance. They will go on to fit in with the business of logistics in India and are expected to take up trials very soon.
5. Reliance & KPIT Hydrogen Two-Wheeler Concept
Yes, hydrogen will be making way into the two-wheeler market, as well. The Indian giants Reliance and KPIT are examining compact hydrogen fuel cell scooters and bikes. Currently at a nascent stage of development, they are yet likely to rattle into the world of clean personal mobility.
