Table 14.4 displays the initial market penetration of all hydrogen vehicles -passenger cars, light-duty vehicles and buses - for the Reference scenario relative to the estimated development of the total vehicle stock as well as the shares of the hydrogen vehicle drive trains, i.e., fuel cells and internal combustion engines. 

As expected, major environmental indicators are affected positively by the introduction of hydrogen cars. Demand for gasoline drops by more than 13% until 2030, compared with BAU, and demand for diesel by about 2%. The difference is significant, as in this scenario only passenger cars are equipped with fuel cells and H2-ICE engines, but neither buses nor light-duty vehicles are expected to be equipped with fuel cells. This means only a small share of diesel fuel consumers is affected, i.e., diesel cars, while buses, light- and heavy-duty vehicles (LDV, HDV) continue to run on diesel.
