Did you know that Stellantis has a hydrogen fuel cell technology development program? Well, don’t feel bad if you didn’t. The program is already being discontinued due to multiple economic hurdles and limited infrastructure. 

Stellantis cancels hydrogen fuel development plans 

Stellantis is saying goodbye to hydrogen for now. It can better allocate funds and resources to other projects by discontinuing the hydrogen fuel development program. According to Repairer Driven News, attention will be placed on EVs and hybrid vehicles instead. 

Sorry if you got excited about hydrogen-powered Pro One vehicles, such as a mid-size van for France and a large size option for Poland. These vehicles have been cut. 

Stellantis shared that it doesn’t expect hydrogen-powered light commercial vehicles to arrive by the end of the decade. This is due to limited availability for hydrogen refueling infrastructure, high capital requirements, and the need for stronger purchasing incentives. 

The Toyota Hydrogen fuel cell technology program is still going strong. Toyota’s largest port vehicle processing center in the United States has applied the technology. 

There are over 20,000 heavy-duty truck routes in the area, and hydrogen-powered vehicles could replace diesel trucks. 

Honda is working on its Next Generation Fuel Cell Module that’s being jointly developed with General Motors. It will cut production costs in half while doubling its durability. 

The automaker is expanding the domains for application of the system and sales region for the new fuel cell to increase its contribution to sustainable energy. 

Hyundai is making progress in Korea as well. The second-generation fuel-cell SUV known as the 2026 Hyundai Nexo is receiving tons of praise from automotive critics.
