AB The percentage of the population in urban areas has increased by ten points from 2000(46%) to 2020 (56%); it is expected to reach up to 70% by 2050. This undoubtedly will encouragesociety to use alternative transports. On the other hand, the widespread fear of pandemics seemsto be here to stay, and it is causing most people to leave public transport to use private cars, anda few have chosen unipersonal electric vehicles. As a consequence, the decision of using privatecars negatively affects the air quality, and consequently urban population health. This paper aims todemonstrate a sustainable solution for urban mobility based on a hydrogen powered unipersonalelectric vehicle, which, as shown, provides great advantages over the conventional battery poweredunipersonal electric vehicle. To show this, the authors have developed both vehicles in comparableversions, using the same platform, and ensuring that the total weight of the unipersonal electricvehicle was the same in both cases. They have been subjected to experimental tests that support thefeatures of the hydrogen-based configuration versus the battery-based one, including higher specificenergy, more autonomy, and shorter recharge time
