THE HISTORY OF HYDROGEN CARS

Vesselin Naydenov

This study aims to present the main points of the development of hydrogen-powered vehicles. Although this type of vehicle is not yet widespread, a lot of effort has been invested in their development by scientists and engineers. The path taken so far in this area should be carefully studied in view of the fact that this technology is already revealing its potential and the need for an alternative to battery-powered electric vehicles is increasing, as a technology replacing fossil fuels.

The developments on this topic have been studied and the conclusion has been made that some of them have not found market implementation, but those that have reached end users offer a wide field of research and prove the potential of this type of vehicle. The experience so far reveals the possibilities of hydrogen vehicles, but also reveals a number of problems related to their mass distribution and operation. They must be solved in order to continue the development of this technology and to achieve its mass distribution, both in transport and in other areas.

The analysis of the achievements to date is important for the development of hydrogen transport, by tracing their natural course. The conclusion is made that research in this area is necessary to determine the most suitable conditions for the operation of hydrogen vehicles and to determine their field of application in which they will be most effective. It has been proven that in-depth research gradually solves the problems that hinder or limit the mass use of hydrogen vehicles. In conclusion, it is necessary to mention that research in this area should be carried out both at the global and national levels in order to facilitate the operation of this type of vehicle to the maximum extent and to increase safety.
