While Toyota and Hyundai are still working flat out on hydrogen technology, the majority of European groups in the passenger car sector no longer believe in the H2 breakthrough.
Renault, Mercedes and Co. see great potential for H2 propulsion in the commercial vehicle sector. VW boss Herbert Diess considers the drive to be too cost-intensive, even for long-distance trucks.
The basic conditions for H2 propulsion are currently far from ideal. In addition to the poorly developed infrastructure, there are high production costs and the currently still poor CO2 footprint of hydrogen production.
