About Fuel Cell Electric Buses
The Fuel Cell Electric Bus (FCEB) market is gaining traction as governments and transportation agencies worldwide shift toward sustainable and zero-emission mobility solutions. Fuel Cell Electric Buses (FCEBs) are zero-emission public transport vehicles powered by hydrogen fuel cells, which generate electricity through an electrochemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen. Unlike battery-electric buses, FCEBs do not rely on large onboard batteries but instead produce electricity on demand, emitting only water and heat as byproducts. Unlike traditional diesel or compressed natural gas (CNG) buses, FCEBs utilize hydrogen fuel cells to generate electricity, offering extended range, faster refueling, and lower environmental impact compared to battery-electric buses (BEBs). With increasing regulatory support, advancements in hydrogen infrastructure, and growing investment in green hydrogen production, the market is expected to witness significant growth.
