Electric and fuel cell electric vehicles are the best developed alternatives for combustion-based automobiles. Electric and fuel cell trucks are the newly developed innovative technology which are electronics-based trucks and installed embedded systems, fuel cells, battery, capacitor to give power to the battery. In the trucks fuel cells are present which is used to produce electric power by utilizing oxygen from the air and the hydrogen.
Majorly electric and fuel cell vehicles are free from emission of carbondioxide which only involves emission of water and heat. Hydrogen is a natural gas storing and transporting also can cause pollution. Vehicles such as internal combustion vehicles, hydrogen vehicles can also create the pollution which stores the hydrogen. Increased growth of the electric and fuel cell market which majorly involves electric power for running the vehicles.
Major components in the electric and fuel cell truck include fuel cells, battery, capacitor. Due to less emission of carbondioxide gas and improved ecosystem giving rise to clean and green city with improved air quality and less pollution. Majorly fuel cells are developed with three parts such as cathode, anode, electrolyte by producing electricity and storing the power and transmitting. In fuel cell hydrogen is stored which produces electrochemical energy to drive the vehicle.
Impact of covid-19 affected the market growth rate of electric and fuel cell market due to wide spread of corona virus across various regions declined the market growth. Due to norms and regulations imposed by the governments lock down in various regions led to shut down of the doors of many industries which halted the production and manufacturing in automobile industry.
Increased government initiative for developing the electric and fuel cells truck considering the environment by zero emission of carbon and contributing for producing and manufacturing the electric and fuel cell trucks with increased demands from the consumer extended the market due to less carbon emission which helps the environment to be green and clean with developed infrastructures for refuelling the gas. Increased demand for electric and fuel trucks due fuel efficiency and low emissions and increased prices of the petrol and diesel. Which helps to boost the market to larger extent during the forecast period. Increased investments and awareness about new developed features in automobile industry have contributed for the growth of electric and fuel cells market.
Impact of covid-19 on the electric and fuel cell truck market declined the growth of the market revenue share due to decreased demands from the consumer and shutdown of the automotive industries led to shortening of manufacturing electric vehicles and others. Post pandemic situation raised the demands for thriving the market growth of electric and fuel cell truck increased demands from the consumer with improved focus on ecosystem with clean and green economy and increased rates of the fuel increased market rate of electric an fuel cell truck. The key market players involved in launching new trucks with new various features and increased research and development in electric and fuel cell trucks have expanded the market size value during the forecast period.
