Market Forecast of Fuel-Cell Vehicles
 Toward “first year on the market of fuel-cell vehicles” in 2015, automobile manufacturers worldwide
are accelerating their development of Fuel-Cell Vehicles.
 National governments have announced support for infrastructure construction toward the spread of
Fuel-Cell Vehicles. For example, the Japanese government has decided to support the private
sector with such plans as to install 100 hydrogen gas stations mainly in the 4 metropolitan areas by
2015 in association with the revision in the High Pressure Gas Control Act and the Fire Service Act.
