Toyota has historically championed hydrogen technology but is now adapting its focus with the introduction of a new third-generation fuel cell system aimed primarily at industrial applications. This design is driven by the need for durability akin to diesel engines, reflecting a strategic shift where hydrogen can shine in heavy-duty scenarios. While the company's hydrogen passenger vehicle, the Mirai, has struggled in sales, the advantages of hydrogen fuel cells in trucks, construction equipment, and other commercial vehicles are becoming clearer as they offer power and efficiency in contexts where traditional electric batteries may falter.
Toyota's new fuel cell system focuses on industrial applications, acknowledging that hydrogen is more suitable for heavy-duty vehicles than passenger electric cars.
The new cell has improved fuel efficiency, lower production costs, and higher output, marking a significant technological advance for Toyota's hydrogen initiatives.
