New application for Toyota hydrogen fuel cells

Hyliko is a French start-up with the mission to deploy Europe’s most efficient, decarbonised freight transport fleet. The company is convinced that the most suitable solution for decarbonising heavy mobility is the rapid and easily accessible deployment of green hydrogen. Hyliko has therefore set-up Europe’s first carbon-negative decarbonisation solution for the logistics and road transport sectors. It consists of four key elements. Hydrogen trucks. A system to lease and maintain these trucks. A network of super-green hydrogen stations. And the management of carbon credits.

TME’s Fuel Cell Business sees great promise in trucks, which are responsible for 77% of all freight transported on European roads. The lower mass of hydrogen systems allows for heavier payload, while the fast refuelling of hydrogen is essential for heavy commercial transport. This cooperation with Hyliko further expands Toyota’s portfolio of partnerships where it provides its fuel cell technology for hydrogen solutions. Other sectors include trains, buses, generators and various marine applications. In other words, Toyota continues to accelerate the growth of zero emission hydrogen mobility.
