Toyota views “hydrogen as an important fuel in pursuit of carbon neutrality” and is actively collaborating with partners across various industries. Toyota has been promoting various initiatives in the areas of “Create, Transport, Store, and Use” hydrogen in relation to its R&D activities. To further accelerate the use cases and adoption of FC technology to achieve a hydrogen society, the continuous evolution of FC technology is necessary. “This 3rd Gen FC system represents a significant step-change.”
