Toyota's Hydrogen Innovations in Super Taikyu Series
Key Ideas
  • Toyota showcased the GR Corolla H2 Concept powered by liquid hydrogen in the Super Taikyu Series, aiming to improve performance and efficiency.
  • The innovative concept aims to utilize hydrogen vapors generated during driving for additional fuel, electricity generation, and harmless water vapor production.
  • Toyota is seeking specialized partners to further develop this hydrogen technology for enhanced efficiency without compromising dimensions or weight.
  • The company's strategy focuses on a diverse portfolio of technologies, including hydrogen, to achieve carbon neutrality and reduce emissions effectively.
Toyota recently participated in a stage of the Super Taikyu Series with the GR Corolla H2 Concept, a car powered by liquid hydrogen. The concept includes novel solutions to increase performance and efficiency. During the event, Toyota also introduced an advanced concept that aims to capture hydrogen vapors produced during driving. These vapors, previously released into the atmosphere unused, can now be utilized in various ways. One method involves directing the hydrogen vapor into a pressurization circuit to convert it into fuel for combustion. Another approach is to use the vapor in a fuel cell to generate electricity for powering onboard systems. Additionally, the hydrogen gas can be combined with oxygen to create harmless water vapor, benefitting the external environment. To optimize this complex system and enhance overall efficiency without increasing dimensions or weight significantly, Toyota is seeking partnerships with specialized companies for further development. The company's ultimate goal is to achieve carbon neutrality by leveraging a mix of technologies, including hydrogen, to reduce emissions effectively. The positive results obtained so far reinforce Toyota's strategy of embracing diverse technologies for a sustainable future.
