The electrification of transportation is expected to greatly contribute to achieving the global climate change target. This study analyzed technological competitiveness in the fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) field based on patent family and citation index. Technology analysis was conducted by dividing FECV into six sub-technology areas based on IPC with fuel cell system, fuel cell technology, vehicle system, hydrogen storage and fueling, catalyst technology and etc. The largest number of patents are being filed in the fuel cell system technology field, and the fields with high growth rates over the past 10 years (2012-2022) were vehicle systems (12.4%) and hydrogen storage fuel field(11.5%). As of 2021, among global automakers, Toyota ranks the first in patent applications for FECV followed by Hyundai Motors in Korea, followed by Honda and Audi, with an average annual growth rate of 19.8%, the highest among competitors.
