Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (HFCV) are expected to have a significant impact in meeting both energy security and environmental concerns globally. Public and private support is however essential for successful transition to a sustainable energy system. Several studies have looked into the issues and considered the purchase behavior of related Alternative Fuel Vehicles (AFC) and more research momentum is seen towards HFCV. The article aims to critically reviews and identifies gaps of acceptance, preferences and attitudes of HFCV and examine whether attitudes, subjective norms (SNs) and perceived behavior control (PBC) have significant associations with customer purchase intention (PI) and purchase behavior of HFCV in Malaysia. This is a timely study to address useful policies for decarbonizing the transportation sector.
