Toyota has advanced its hydrogen fuel cell HiLux project to the final testing phase in the UK, with ten vehicles currently undergoing field testing and customer engagement. Although Toyota was initially slow to embrace battery electric vehicles, the brand has excelled in hybrid technology, with seven of the top 10 best-selling hybrids in Australia being Toyota vehicles in 2023. The hydrogen HiLux project, initiated with a feasibility study in early 2022, demonstrates the benefits of hydrogen as a fuel source, offering an emission-free driving range of 600km. Toyota and consortium partners have been actively involved in the project, aiming to push forward with hydrogen technology. Additionally, Toyota is exploring the possibility of evaluating a hydrogen HiLux in Australia, and is working on developing a hydrogen refueling network in partnership with other companies. While challenges such as limited refueling infrastructure persist, Toyota remains optimistic about the future of hydrogen technology and its role in the transition to more sustainable fuel sources.
