An Interact Analysis Report predicts that the price of fuel cell systems, currently found almost uniquely in fuel cell buses, will decline dramatically (in $/KW) as their application spreads in a range of heavy-duty vehicles.
Fuel cell systems cost a hefty $96,000 in 2020, but 2030 prices are predicted to average 23% of this figure – a more dramatic decline than any other component in the report.
The report also forecasts the price of electrified powertrains, showing that the average cost of the powertrain for a full electric medium or heavy duty truck will drop from $105,000 in 2019 to $50,000 in 2030.
VAI Capital is technology agnostic, understanding that different low-emissions technologies are better suited to different applications. It is promising to read this latest report which predicts that wider-spread applications of both plug-in electric and fuel-cell technologies will drive prices down further, improving the business case for each and allowing the best-suited technologies to remain competitive.
