Summary
In the Automotive industry the current megatrends are about mobility, autonomous driving, digitization and electric powertrains. While next battery electric vehicles will dominate the debate about zero-emission passenger vehicles, fuel-cell technology is positioned in a niche. However, looking at technological and economic data we believe that fuel cell technology remains an alternative and meaningful zero-emission solution. Looking forward, we believe the debate about fuel cell technology will be enforced in the midterm. In the context of the structural change in the electrification of the automotive industry, roles for battery cell in-house production are already occupied by Asian players, but the playground for fuel cell technology offers opportunities for OEM and suppliers.
