I have carried out research into this area at some length. While the technology is available in several forms mainly hydrogen and methanol based the overriding issue like all new technologies is cost. Fleet sizes in the US are larger than in Europe and so benefit from economies of scale. Several European based companies are actively looking at fuel cells but until cost issues concerning capital investment and fuel cost and delivery/reforming to/at point of use are achievable then market penetration will be slow.
