This study explores the potential of hydrogen in transportation systems, analyzing recent developments and trends in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (HFCVs). The study focuses on the role of individual components in enhancing the vehicle's functionality and performance. A comprehensive comparative analysis is conducted, evaluating HFCVs against internal combustion engine, plug-in hybrid electric, and battery electric vehicles across several critical factors such as driving range, fuel consumption, refueling/recharging time, emissions, vehicle price, and well-to-wheel efficiency. Furthermore, the analysis examines the recent sales trends and market performance, thereby offering insights into the advantages and obstacles to adopting of HFCVs on a broader scale. In addition, current and future developments in hydrogen refueling stations and electrolysis capacity are examined, as well as strategies to enhance the integration of HFCVs into the global market. Finally, the study presents an overview of the industry's progress and prospects.
