Toyota Motor North America has demonstrated its dedication to hydrogen fuel cell technology at the 2025 Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo through various plans and investments. The company's Group Vice President of Powertrain Engineering, Jordan Choby, unveiled the launch of hydrogen-powered fuel cell trucks to replace diesel vehicles at the North America Parts Center California (NAPCC). Toyota aims to enhance the hydrogen ecosystem by constructing a new hydrogen fueling station at the NAPCC campus and increasing investments in this sector. Additionally, Toyota plans to introduce production-level fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) to its fleet, operating routes between key locations like the Port of Long Beach, NAPCC in Ontario, and San Diego. The company also showcased its partnerships with Air Liquide and Iwatani to strengthen fueling infrastructure, focusing on high-flow liquid hydrogen stations equipped with advanced systems for efficient refueling. Toyota will source hydrogen from Air Liquide's facility in North Las Vegas and continues to explore new sources and technologies like methane byproducts and electrolysis partnerships with companies like Chiyoda in Japan. Toyota unveiled its next-generation Gen 3 fuel cell system, set to debut in the U.S. in 2027 or later, offering 20% more power and efficiency compared to its predecessor. The Gen 3 system is designed for heavy-duty trucks, passenger cars, and commercial vehicles, aiming for durability exceeding 600,000 miles without major service. The company envisions a future with improved hydrogen fueling infrastructure, advanced fuel cell stacks, and a collaborative ecosystem of dedicated partners and suppliers committed to sustainable growth in the hydrogen transportation sector.
