Hydrogen fuel cell cars gaining momentum

China's installed capacity of hydrogen fuel cells surged 642.6 percent year-on-year to 45,876.9 kilowatts in the first seven months of this year despite a subsidy withdrawal from the new energy vehicles sector, according to industry data. The output and sales of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles soared 8.8 times and 10.1 times to reach 1,176 and 1,106 units, respectively, the Power Battery Application Branch of China Industrial Association of Power Sources said in a report. Hydrogen fuel cells are still mainly used for powering buses and special purpose vehicles instead of passenger cars, due to the high cost and a lack of technical support facilities such as hydrogen stations, the report said.
