Advent of Hydrogen-based Internal Combustion Engine to Expand Market Size

A major highlight of transitioning engine technology comprises the concept of hydrogen-based ICEs. Many automotive engine vendors have now launched their hydrogen engines with lower emissions, higher efficiency, and a long range of operations. The overall growth of the engine is impacted by the fuel cell technology as it also powers the vehicles through hydrogen. Hydrogen Internal Combustion (ICE) engines are becoming increasingly popular to decarbonize mobility and reach carbon neutrality. Specific development challenges for hydrogen engines include improving combustion, reducing emissions, and improving safety. The advantages of hydrogen ICE include the use of common parts, knowledge, and research facilities of conventional gasoline and diesel engines. Furthermore, hydrogen ICE diverts and uses conventional gasoline and diesel engine parts, maintenance and development, and operating skill sets for internal combustion engines.

For instance, in January 2024, Bosch announced its plan to launch its first hydrogen internal combustion engine for trucks. The launch is going to be a part of its offering of fuel cell and battery-electronic systems. The company is claiming it is equivalent to its diesel engine.

Government Policies and Compliance Policies for Emissions

The automotive fuel transition roadmap is supported by government compliance policies. Authorities focus on limiting the carbon footprint through incentivizing EV, hybrid, and fuel cell technologies. However, the ICE covers a major portion of the existing number of automobiles on the road. Various countries have introduced new emission standards to regulate the automakers.

For instance: In April 2023, the government of India rolled out the second phase of its 6th emission standard named Bharat Standard 6 (BS6-2) which is equivalent to the Euro 6 standard applicable for all vehicles across Europe.

The new automakers are sticking to these compliances and launching their vehicles according to them. Apart from the advanced features, the next-generation internal combustion engines are expected to be more refined, efficient, and sustainable. While several manufacturers have introduced their BS6 2 models, some are yet to make this emission norm transition.

For instance, in January 2023, Hyundai India was one of the first brands to implement RDE norms in India. The company started the roll-out of BS6 2-compliant vehicles with the introduction of the Nios and the Aura. Subsequently, the update was introduced in the SUV segment with the introduction of Creta, Alcazar, and Venue.

Automotive Segment leads the Global Internal Combustion Engine Market

Based on the end-user category, the automotive segment holds a significant share of the market due to the higher consumption, higher sales of ICE vehicles, and increased adoption of commercial vehicles. This growth can be attributed to the increasing consumer disposable income levels that have led to an increase in the number of cars on the roads around the world. As a result, automotive manufacturers focus on the development of high-performing internal combustion engines that provide high returns on manufacturing investments. In addition, technological innovations that improve IC engine fuel efficiency, emissions, and overall performance are expected to drive market growth. The aviation segment also accelerates at a decent rate due to increased connectivity and personal aviation. Apart from passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles such as trucks are also being upgraded with hydrogen-based IC engines.

For instance, in February 2023, Reliance Industries Limited introduced India's First Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine for heavy-duty trucks. H2ICE-powered trucks would emit close to zero emissions, provide comparable performance to conventional diesel trucks, reduce noise, and reduce operating costs.

Asia-Pacific Leads in the Global Internal Combustion Engine Market

Asia-Pacific region is anticipated the hold the major share of the market due to the increased per capita income that has fuelled the sales of personal and commercial vehicles. However, EV adoption is also on a surge in the region, the ICE vehicles still hold the major market. Emerging economies such as India and China have introduced their latest emission standard for IC engine manufacturers to comply with. The local auto-tech companies are also transforming the engine design to make it more efficient and powerful. In addition, the low charging infrastructure in the region and the high price of electric motors contribute to the market growth. The use of natural gas in the ICE due to the low emissions also aims to make the ICE an alternative to the EV. The sales of ICE vehicles have also increased the sales of imported powerful vehicles.

For instance, in February 2024, Mini announced the global launch of the fourth generation of the Cooper and Cooper S. This marks the end of the sporty ICE-powered 3-door hatchback. Future Cooper models will only be available in fully electric forms. The car is expected to be launched in the 3rd quarter of 2024 in India.
