Abstract: The transition to hydrogen fuel in commercial transportation presents promising avenues for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing energy efficiency. This paper reviews the feasibility of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (HFCVs), emphasizing their advantages such as rapid refueling, high energy density, and suitability for long-haul operations. A comparative analysis with battery electric vehicles (BEVs) reveals hydrogen's competitive edge in heavy-duty applications. However, widespread adoption is constrained by high production and storage costs, limited infrastructure, and regulatory gaps. The study highlights the critical need for technological advancements, policy support, and investment in hydrogen infrastructure. The findings advocate for collaborative efforts to accelerate hydrogen deployment and its integration into a low-carbon transport ecosystem
