Hexagon Purus has announced an agreement to supply components to Toyota Motor North America (TMNA) for the serial production of heavy-duty fuel cell electric powertrain kits. The collaboration, which began in 2017, focuses on the development of fuel cell electric powertrain kits for Class 8 trucks with the goal of reducing harmful emissions. Hexagon Purus will be providing a full hydrogen storage system and high-voltage battery pack for these powertrain kits. The partnership aims to support efforts towards zero-emission commercial transportation. Toyota has received a Zero Emission Powertrain (ZEP) Executive Order from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for its heavy-duty fuel cell electric powertrain, assisting heavy-duty truck OEMs and operators in meeting strict emissions regulations. The fuel cell kit, including components from Hexagon Purus, will be sold to OEMs for use in hydrogen-powered heavy-duty trucks, promoting a shift towards zero-emission transport.
