Toyota Motor Corp. is set to launch a specialized service vehicle to assist stranded motorists driving electric cars and fuel-cell automobiles. This new service aims to provide hydrogen and electricity on-site to vehicles facing energy depletion, eliminating the need for traditional tow trucks. In partnership with the Japan Automobile Federation (JAF), Toyota plans to start a verification test for the next-generation roadside assistance truck in 2025. The compact fuel-cell truck, funded primarily by Toyota and Isuzu Motors Ltd., can transport 10 kilograms of gaseous hydrogen and features a quick-charger capable of powering electric vehicles for a 50 km journey within 10 minutes. This initiative not only addresses the current challenges of stranded drivers but also aligns with the growing trend of electric vehicles facing battery depletion issues. The service truck will offer a wide range of assistance, including traditional services like flat tire repair and battery charging, in addition to providing hydrogen and electricity. Toyota's Vice President Hiroki Nakajima highlighted the importance of creating a supportive environment for fuel-cell vehicles, aiming to reduce the anxieties of drivers. This futuristic approach to roadside assistance reflects the ongoing advancements in hydrogen transportation and showcases a positive step towards sustainable mobility solutions.
