While China leads the world in electric vehicle adoption, FCEVs are being positioned as a complementary technology to battery electric vehicles (BEVs), particularly for heavy-duty applications where batteries face range and payload limitations. But progress remains uneven.
Despite substantial subsidies and infrastructure investment, just 5,485 FCEVs were deployed in 2024—well short of national targets. And although China operates the world’s largest hydrogen refuelling network, it still falls far behind the infrastructure needed to support long-term ambitions.
