Madrid to replace at least 1,000 combustion cabs with fuel cell taxis

The hydrogen powered vehicles will be on the roads by 2026 when refuelling infrastructure is in place. The Federación Profesional del Taxi de Madrid (FPTM) has announced its intentions to replace a minimum of 1,000 combustion engine cabs with hydrogen fuel cell taxis. They will be driving by 2026 following massive H2 production and refuelling infrastructure construction.
The fuel cell taxis will be headed to the capital of Spain in five years, by which time the city will be well underway in constructing a hydrogen infrastructure that includes production, delivery and refueling. That said, the first fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) in Madrid are expected to hit the city’s streets by 2022.
