"Hydrogen is much less energy-dense by volume, and making it is far from efficient. Most commercial hydrogen is produced via steam reformation from hydrocarbon stocks, which is energy-intensive and not carbon-neutral."
"Stellantis has decided to discontinue its hydrogen fuel cell technology development program due to high production costs and lack of economic sustainability. The hydrogen market remains a niche segment."
Hydrogen is less energy-dense and producing it is inefficient, primarily relying on energy-intensive steam reformation from hydrocarbon stocks. Most commercial hydrogen isn't produced through renewable means, contributing to its environmental impact. Infrastructure for hydrogen vehicles is lacking, making refueling difficult. Stellantis has canceled hydrogen van production in France and Poland, citing high development costs and the niche nature of the hydrogen market. The company focuses on electric and hybrid vehicles to align with CO2 regulations in Europe while ensuring competitiveness without job losses at factories.
