Bosch: Fuel cell vehicles will be large-scale practical in 2025

Bosch executives predict that fuel cell vehicles will be commercially viable by 2025 as the cost of hydrogen fuel cells continues to decrease.

Wolf-Henning Scheider, head of automotive business at Robert Bosch, said at the Automotive Weekly conference last week that thanks to economies of scale, fuel cells will become more industrialized by 2025, "they (fuel cells) are in competition Not behind, it is a viable alternative to other automotive zero-emission technologies."

Compared with pure electric vehicles, fuel cell vehicles have a cruising range of more than five times the latter, and the refueling time is shorter than the charging time. However, the development and manufacturing costs are too high, which has become a bottleneck restricting its promotion.

Currently Daimler, Hyundai, Nissan, Ford, Toyota, Honda, General Motors and BMW are developing fuel cell vehicles. Toyota plans to cut fuel cell costs by more than 90% in the future. Toyota and Honda plan to start selling fuel cell vehicles from 2015 to 2016, and Hyundai has taken the lead in launching mass-produced ix35 fuel cell vehicles.

Despite spared no effort in fuel cell cost control, Scheider still expects that the fuel cell powertrain will be twice as expensive as the electric vehicle powertrain by 2025, but the cruising range advantage will make fuel cells an alternative.

Take the future fuel cell vehicle products of Toyota and other car companies as an example. The estimated price will be as high as 56,000 euros, or 70,000 US dollars, but analysts still believe that it is impossible to fill the developer's development costs or the construction cost of the hydrogen refueling station. Only one hydrogen station will cost $1 million.
