I read in the literature that there are some fuel-cell electric vehicles. These cars will have a propulsion system similar to that of electric vehicles. Fuel cells will convert the energy from hydrogen into electricity so that vehicles can run, FCEVs use pure hydrogen gas stored in a tank on the vehicle as fuel. There are cars using this technology in some other countries. I don't know about the Indian market.
Autos and cars use CNG as fuel but not scooters, why? The reason may be finding a place to store the fuel cylinder, Same may be the problem with hydrogen tanks also, I feel.
Hydrogen is available and abundant but making it pure is a laborious process and the cost involved will be high. So the fuel cost will be more in the case than EVs. Hydrogen will be made from natural gas where the emission of greenhouse gases is very high.
Another point to be thought of is Hydrogen gas is very active and highly inflammable. So safety factor also has to be taken into consideration.

The following points should be noted while using Hydrogen as the fuel in cars and other vehicles-
1) Hydrogen being highly inflammable, much precautions are needed to be used as a primary fuel.
2) Density of the gas is less and has the tendency to escape from the storage fuel and hence some mechanism is to be developed to be utilised effectively.
3) The processing of hydrogen from the air or from other sources should be economical to produce the same in a huge quantity so as to be used as an effective fuel.
Scientists are exploring the possibilities for extraction of the same as a fuel in the vehicles.
