Emirates Team New Zealand is gearing up to defend its America’s Cup title with the full support of Toyota behind them. Toyota has been a dedicated sponsor of ETNZ for 32 years, continuing their partnership by backing the team in match racing in Barcelona. With a successful tour of the Auld Mug across New Zealand, the excitement for the upcoming event, starting on October 13 NZST, is palpable. Toyota is also involved in local and national initiatives to promote sailing, such as supporting youth programs and sponsoring national sailing events. One of the standout contributions by Toyota is the development of the world’s first hydrogen foiling chase boat, named Chase Zero, to support the ETNZ crew in their races. This innovative vessel is powered by Toyota hydrogen fuel cells, demonstrating a commitment to sustainable practices in the marine industry. Additionally, Toyota organized the Toyota Kiwi Cup Regatta, providing young sailors with a platform to showcase their skills and have fun in a competitive environment. By bringing the ceremonial waka Te Kawau to Barcelona and introducing the hydrogen-powered Chase Zero, Toyota and ETNZ are highlighting New Zealand's culture and technological advancements on a global stage. The introduction of sustainable hydrogen fuel cells in marine vessels signals a significant step towards reducing emissions and addressing the climate crisis. Through their initiatives, Toyota is not only supporting Team NZ's defense of the America’s Cup but also fostering the future of yacht racing in New Zealand, emphasizing the importance of sustainability and youth development in the sport.
