Toyota has unveiled its latest advancement in hydrogen technology with the introduction of the third-generation hydrogen fuel cell system. Despite a decline in sales of passenger FCEVs, Toyota is committed to advancing hydrogen propulsion and has developed a system that offers improved durability, efficiency, and range. The new system is compact, lighter, and boasts up to two times more durability than its predecessor, achieving levels comparable to diesel engines. Additionally, Toyota claims the system allows for 20% further driving range, potentially enabling FCEVs to travel up to 480 miles on a full tank. The company has also focused on cost reduction, making the new fuel cell system more affordable to manufacture, which could lead to lower prices for hydrogen-powered vehicles and stationary equipment. Despite challenges in refueling infrastructure for the general public, Toyota's hydrogen fuel cell technology has found success in various commercial applications, powering generators, locomotives, and construction equipment, especially in environmentally sensitive areas. The company plans to showcase its latest-generation fuel cell system at an upcoming expo in Tokyo, with commercial deployment in key markets like Japan, Europe, North America, and China projected to begin after 2026.
