ABSTRACT
This research presents the methods used for risk assessment of hydrogen vehicles. The design of hydrogenpowered vehicles should be prioritized to ensure a safe powertrain (lowest risk). Vehicles should be usable under normal conditions in everyday life, and the risk to the user should be minimized. A literature review has shown that the greatest risk in the use of hydrogen powered vehicles is hydrogen leakage. Hydrogen leakage can occur in fuel systems (tanks, pipings), and risk assessment methods should be applied to address this issue. In the future, green hydrogen vehicles will play an important role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but safe operation will also be an important requirement. The risk assessment procedures under consideration will support the future application of this new technology.
