Arpit-
A hydrogen vehicle is a vehicle that uses hydrogen fuel for motive power.
Hydrogen vehicles include hydrogen-fueled space rockets, as well
as ships and aircraft. Power is generated by converting the chemical energy of
hydrogen to mechanical energy, either by reacting hydrogen with oxygen in a fuel
cell to power electric motors or, less commonly, by burning hydrogen in an internal
combustion engine.
As of 2021, there are two models of hydrogen cars publicly available in select
markets: the Toyota Mirai (2014–), which is the world's first mass-produced
dedicated fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV), and the Hyundai Nexo (2018–). There are
also fuel cell buses. Hydrogen aircraft are not expected to carry many passengers
long haul before the 2030s at the earliest.
Hemant-
Fuel-cell buses have been trialed by several manufacturers in different locations, for
example, the Ursus Lublin. Solaris Bus & Coach introduced its Urbino 12 hydrogen
electric buses in 2019. Several dozen were ordered. In 2022, the city of Montpellier,
France, cancelled a contract to procure 51 buses powered by hydrogen fuel cells,
when it found that "the cost of operation for hydrogen [buses] is 6 times the cost of
electricity.

Pratham-
No vehicle emissions other than water vapor. Fuel economy equivalent to about
twice that of gasoline vehicles. Hydrogen is abundant, and can be made from
renewable energy. While the hydrogen fuel-cell produces electricity, the
driving also happens on electricity from the battery pack, fuel-cell or both.
So, the driving experience is also just like an electric vehicle. It’s smooth,
silent and vibration-free as even when the fuel-cell is running, it barely
produces any noise or vibration.

Rohit-
Producing hydrogen requires electricity. That electricity can come from a
thermal power plant running on coal, a nuclear power station or a solar
farm. Black or brown, for example, is for hydrogen made using fossil fuels.
Pink is for nuclear hydrogen. Green is for hydrogen made from renewable
sources of electricity. So, as an environmentally-conscious person, buying
a hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle is not enough to save the planet.
