As previously reported by Hydrogen Insight, Europe’s largest hydrogen car market, Germany, saw an almost 70% reduction in new FCEV registrations in 2023.

However, the data from France shows that the country is becoming one of the most dynamic FCEV markets in Europe — although hydrogen vehicle sales are still tiny compared to those of battery-electric equivalents — with the UK and Czechia the only other European nations to have seen more than ten FCEV registrations per HRS last year.

In Switzerland, which has one of the largest concentrations of HRSs in Europe, total new registrations for FCEVs fell by 50%, with just 28 passenger cars and ten commercial vehicles registered last year, the Swiss Federal Office for Statistics tells Hydrogen Insight.

In comparison, the central European state registered 40,507 battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) in 2023.
