This review paper gives and introduction and explains briefly the working of Fuel Cell Hybrid vehicles, the
motive behind the development of fuel cell vehicles along with the design considerations. Some popular types
of fuel cells in automotive industry are explained and compared. Methods of hydrogen (primary fuel for fuel
cells) production and storage are also discussed along with hydrogen reforming techniques. Brief working of
Hybrid fuel cell vehicle in different modes and design of its drive train are also discussed. Different
comparison factors are used to compare fuel cell hybrid vehicles with other competing hybrid technologies
and conventional IC engine vehicles.
