Fuel cell vehicle forecasts varying but favourable

Despite increasing optimism about the growth of fuel cell vehicles, sales remain restricted to certain markets and in low volumes. Trapped by infrastructure restraints, volumes can only increase in line with the availability of hydrogen fuelling stations and a considerable boost to consumer awareness. However, with a number of initiatives under way to develop the appropriate infrastructure, OEMs see an opportunity. The question is, with volumes currently in the thousands, will those OEMs be able to make a viable business case for the FCV?
