Abstract

In light of climate change and air pollution, this paper addresses the urgent issue of sustainable transportation. The potential of Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicles (FCHVs) utilizing Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) technology is investigated, focusing on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by utilizing hydrogen as an energy carrier. Analyzing the intricate interplay between FCHV control systems and overall efficiency, we explore diverse Energy Management Systems (EMS) strategies' impacts on fuel cell degradation, battery performance, and cost. Through a comprehensive literature review, our research underscores FCHVs' pivotal role in achieving sustainability goals while navigating the intricate landscape of technology, control strategies, efficiency, and environmental imperatives. We also evaluate its social, economic, and ecological benefits compared to traditional vehicles. At last, we address specific gap questions which could be studied in the future.
