Hydrogen ICE vehicles offer an alternative to traditional gasoline and diesel-powered vehicles and have the potential to reduce emissions and reliance on fossil fuels. These vehicles are becoming increasingly popular and more automakers are starting to offer hydrogen-powered options in their vehicle lineups.
While the progress of hydrogen internal combustion engines goes forward it still face challenges which need holistic approaches from industry to win. There are several disadvantages and challenges to using hydrogen as a fuel for internal combustion engines:
- Hydrogen fuel is expensive
- Limited hydrogen fueling infrastructure
- Storage and handling of hydrogen
- Production of hydrogen
- Safety concerns
- Limited range

PSR Analysis. Another interesting article and video looking at HICE, but this article focusses on the challenges facing HICE and doesn’t really look at the advantages of an HICE and should be viewed in conjunction with the previous article, “Are hydrogen engines vehicles your future?”PSR
