Hydrogen can be considered as the most promising fuel towards the greenization. Developed and developing countries around the world have formed their research, investments and directives on hydrogen. The leading countries in this field can be cited as members of the European Union and the United States. Laws and regulations have been shared with the public under the aegis of the established policies. Additionally, determined targets for the short, medium and long term and their feedbacks are recorded by the reports of the competent authorities. Although the Republic of Turkey was aware of the importance of the issue, though there is no open source inventory as disclosed.In Turkey, governmental organization, General Directorate of Energy Affairs (YEGM), and foundations, such as the National Hydrogen Association (NHA), have been encouraging and supporting multidisciplinary studies and activities within the country and internationally. In this study, it is aimed to provide numerical analyses from 1970 to the present by considering hydrogen energy.Related information and data were compiled from online resources on scholarly publications, organizations, groups, books and book chapters, master and doctorate theses, patents received and completed projects. It is also aimed to create a unique information source to refer with respect to planning and activities.

One of the most important energy sources for well and availability is undoubtedly hydrogen. Both the production capacity and the usability of hydrogen in various industrial sections are continuing to increase significantly and sustainable. With this high trend, it is unthinkable that hydrogen is not a part of the automotive industry. The aim of this book chapter is giving info on the hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles potential which have developing e-motor, charging capabilities and battery capacities; and illustrate the upgrade their stars on industry. Basic fundamentals, structural features, merits & demerits and energy efficiency analyzes will be done. In addition, for the future of sustainable mobility, the future milestones will be discussed and the current economical manner will be discussed in terms of life cycle assessment and environmental perspective. As a result, a comprehensible hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle potential will be examined in both the automotive industry and all stakeholders. FCEVs on availability of autonomous vehicles will also be discussed, too.
