Abstract: This report is the 2026 update on the global status of fuel cell vehicle deployment in road transport and hydrogen refueling stations. The report is based on data collected by the International Energy Agency's (IEA) Technology Collaboration Programme on Fuel Cells and Electrolyzers in 2026. The data shows that the global fuel cell vehicle fleet broke the 100,000 units mark in 2025 while at the same time the number of hydrogen refueling stations increased to 1604 stations. South Korea has the most fuel cell vehicles, accounting for 41% of the global vehicle fleet over all segments and 55% of the global passenger car fleet. China is dominating the commercial vehicle segment, accounting for more than 94% of the light-, medium-, and heavy-duty vehicle fleets, each. Notably, 93% of fuel cell vehicles are operated in just four countries: South Korea (41%), China (25%), the USA (18%) and Japan (9%). Fuel cell passenger cars are the largest segment at 70% of the total fleet. The latest deployment showed growth in the passenger car as well as the commercial vehicle segments. Passenger cars showed the biggest absolute increase with 9229 vehicles (14%), while the commercial vehicle segment (light-, medium-, and heavy-duty combined) showed the biggest relative increase with 20% (4269 vehicles), compared to 2024. Regarding hydrogen refueling stations, China is in the lead with 630 stations out of 1604 stations worldwide. South Korea is in second place with 453 stations, an increase of 167 compared to 2024. Compared to past peak growth, the growth of fuel cell vehicle fleets and hydrogen refueling stations has slowed significantly and in some countries and segments even reversed. This is primarily due to the market success of batteryelectric vehicles in most road vehicle segments.
