Automakers have struggled to market fuel cell vehicles due to a severe lack of fueling infrastructure, with only 322 fuel cell vehicles sold in the US in the first half of 2024, showing an 82% decline from the previous year.
Toyota and BMW aim to overcome challenges in hydrogen fuel cell adoption by standardizing components, developing a shared powertrain, and constructing hydrogen fueling stations to enhance accessibility.
Hydrogen fuel cells use compressed hydrogen, producing only water vapor as emission, making it an appealing alternative to traditional gas-powered vehicles in efforts to meet climate goals.
The partnership seeks a 'conducive framework' between government and industry to bolster hydrogen technology, indicating a collaborative approach is vital for future advancements in this sector.
