The importance of hydrogen as a fuel will steadily increase in future, mainly due to environmental necessities. Currently, many major carmakers are developing electric vehicles with polymer electrolyte fuel cell(FCEV), expecting it to become one of the promising alternatives to replace gasoline-powered vehicles. This paper summarizes the latest progress of PEFC technologies and the FCEV’s, and the prospective contribution of them to introduction of wide use of hydrogen fuel in future is also discussed.
