Coca-Cola and Toyota Collaborate on Hydrogen-Fuelled Long-Haul Truck for Sustainable Supply Operations
Key Ideas
  • Coca-Cola, Toyota, and Air Liquide are partnering to trial a hydrogen-fuelled heavy-duty truck for sustainable supply chain operations.
  • Toyota aims to expand hydrogen technology into various transport modes to achieve zero tailpipe carbon emissions in logistics by 2040.
  • The collaboration is part of efforts to display hydrogen usage at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, showcasing its role in reducing CO2 emissions.
Coca-Cola is embarking on a trial of a hydrogen-fuelled long-haul truck in collaboration with Toyota and Air Liquide as part of their sustainable supply operations. The heavy-duty truck is equipped with a fuel cell system and runs on green hydrogen supplied by Air Liquide. Toyota, in conjunction with the other companies, emphasizes the importance of developing both vehicles and infrastructure concurrently to advance towards a sustainable society. Coca-Cola's commitment to reducing its carbon footprint is evident in its introduction of hydrogen-powered logistics trucks in Italy and now in this global project. Toyota's objective to achieve zero tailpipe carbon emissions in logistics by 2040 is a driving force behind the partnership. The upcoming Paris 2024 Olympic Games will serve as a platform to showcase hydrogen technology through Toyota's fleet of up to 500 hydrogen-powered vehicles. This initiative aims to demonstrate a 50% reduction in CO2 transport emissions compared to previous Olympic events, highlighting the positive impact of hydrogen in decarbonizing transportation. The collaboration signifies a significant step towards sustainable and eco-friendly logistics operations by leveraging hydrogen technology.
