List of fuel cell vehicles

Main articles: Fuel cell vehicle and

A fuel cell vehicle is a vehicle that uses a fuel cell to power an electric drive system. There are also hybrid vehicles meaning that they are fitted with a fuel cell and a battery or a fuel cell and an ultracapacitor.

As the fuel cells get more powerful there is less need to make the fuel cell vehicles hybrid.

Weighing the right way

Efficiency

Using hydrogen in a fuel cell is nearly twice as efficient as in traditional internal combustion engines (ICE), which only have an efficiency of 15-25%.

Hybrid fuel combustion vehicle

To promote the demandside for hydrogen, and so creating a hydrogen infrastructure (to get more hydrogen filling stations), Hybrid fuel combustion vehicles running on hydrogen or another fuel are introduced.
