Conclusions
■
Fuel economy and Cost Evolution until 2045 of two hydrogen technologies were compared on the UDDS and HWFET drive cycles for various vehicle configurations.
■
The fuel efficiency improvement of Hydrogen-ICE technologies is more aggressive than Fuel Cell vehicles.
■
The two technologies could reach the same fuel economy by 2045
■
Both technologies’ cost tend to be 10% to 20% cheaper than a Conventional Gasoline in 2045 with a slight advantage for Hydrogen HEV.
■
Most improvements for the fuel cell vehicle are related to cost.
