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.

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.
