Hydrogen Cars in United States in
Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCV) or hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles are a potential option to reduce emissions from the transportation sector. The combustion of fossil fuels to power conventional vehicles releases GHG emissions and other pollutants from the vehicle's exhaust system (i.e., "tailpipe" emissions). In addition, there are also emissions associated with the production of petroleum fuels (i.e., "upstream" emissions), especially emissions from oil refineries. FCVs do not emit tailpipe GHGs or other pollutants during vehicle operation, and depending on how the hydrogen is produced, there may be substantially lower GHG emissions associated with hydrogen fuel production.
Fuel cells are already used to generate electricity in other applications, such as in spacecraft, and in stationary uses, such as emergency power generators. Although the fuel cell concept was developed in England in the 19th century, the first viable fuel cells were not manufactured until much later, in the 1950s. During this time, interest in fuel cells increased, as NASA began looking for ways to generate energy for space flights
However, several key obstacles must be overcome before large-scale introduction of FCVs is possible. These challenges include hydrogen production, distribution and storage, fuel cell technology and overall vehicle cost. In the long term, the reduction in overall transport sector emissions attributable to FCVs will depend on the total number of vehicles in use. A 2008 study by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) provides a measure of the GHG emissions reduction potential of FCVs. The NAS study estimated the maximum practicable penetration rate for FCVs in the United States in the time frame of 2008 to 2050. The study anticipated that FCVs could account for approximately 2 million vehicles, out of a total of 280 million vehicles. light vehicles, in 2020, and that would grow rapidly thereafter, increasing to 25 million vehicles in 2030.
In January 2024, Hyundai and Toyota offer hydrogen car models in the United States. Other brands such as Honda, BMW, Ford or Mitsubishi have advanced their intention to market hydrogen models.

Toyota ha alcanzado otro hito en su avance hacia un futuro sin emisiones de carbono con la presentación de un prototipo de Hilux eléctrico de pila de combustible de hidrógeno. Su debut es una demostración más del amplio alcance de la estrategia de Toyota para lograr una movilidad sin emisiones de carbono, aplicando diferentes soluciones de propulsión -eléctrica híbrida, eléctrica híbrida enchufable, eléctrica de batería y eléctrica de pila de combustible- para adaptarse a las diferentes necesidades de los usuarios y entornos operativos de todo el mundo.
La nueva cadena cinemática utiliza elementos básicos de la berlina eléctrica de pila de combustible de hidrógeno Toyota Mirai, una tecnología que ha demostrado su calidad en casi 10 años de producción comercial. Cuando se pone en marcha, la pila de combustible no produce más emisiones que las de agua pura.
