Key Points

Fuel cell vehicles (FCVs):
- A fuel cell vehicle or fuel cell electric vehicle is an electric vehicle that uses a fuel cell, sometimes in combination with a small battery or supercapacitor, to power its onboard electric motor.
- Fuel cells in vehicles generate electricity generally using oxygen from the air and compressed hydrogen.
- They are more efficient than conventional internal combustion engine vehicles and produce no tailpipe emissions—they only emit water vapour and warm air.
