Toyota and Hino Develop Heavy-Duty Fuel Cell Truck in Partnership

Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) and Hino Motors, Ltd. (Hino) have partnered in developing a heavy-duty fuel cell truck.

Toyota and Hino are doing this as a proactive approach towards resolving global environmental issues and recognising it as one of the most important corporate tasks.

Both companies have declared ambitious goals to reduce CO₂ emissions by 2050 and are developing electric vehicle technologies for widespread use in society. In order to achieve further reductions in CO₂ emissions, major improvements will be required in the environmental performance of heavy-duty trucks, which account for about 60 percent of the total CO₂ emissions from commercial vehicles in Japan.
