Toyota might be supplying its fuel cells to buses, BMWs and even an experimental yacht, but according to a report, Hyundai emerged as the world’s largest fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) maker in the first half of 2021. The company sold 4,700 units of Nexo SUV between January and June 2021—up by 62.7% compared to the same period last year.
Hyundai slipped to second place in the FCEV market in the first quarter, but regained the top spot with a 51.7% market share in the first half thanks to the MY2021 Nexo.
With 3,700 units of the second-gen Mirai sold, Toyota grabbed a 40.9% share and its FCEV Y-o-Y growth skyrocketed to 735%. Imagine what would’ve happened if the Mirai was an SUV this time. Anyway, another Japanese automaker Honda settled for third place with a 1.6% share. Honda has the Clarity FCEV, in case you’re wondering. In all, the three giants control more than 94% of global FCEV sales.
