Toyota's Twin Mid Flow Technology: Revolutionizing Hydrogen Refuelling for Heavy Vehicles
Key Ideas
  • Toyota, HRS, and ENGIE collaborate on cutting-edge hydrogen refuelling technology, reducing refuelling times for heavy goods vehicles significantly.
  • Twin Mid Flow technology enables 40-tonne trucks to refuel in just 8 minutes for a 600 km range, benefiting from a dual-nozzle system with increased flow rate.
  • The innovation is expected to decrease costs at future hydrogen filling stations and accelerate the development of hydrogen distribution infrastructure in Europe.
  • ENGIE, as a key partner in the project, highlights the importance of the collaboration in advancing hydrogen mobility and infrastructure.
Toyota Motor Europe, in partnership with HRS and ENGIE, has introduced a groundbreaking hydrogen refuelling system, utilizing the Twin Mid Flow technology to drastically reduce refuelling times for heavy goods vehicles. This innovation allows 40-tonne trucks to refuel in just 8 minutes for a 600 km range and 12 minutes for a 900 km range, while light commercial vehicles can refuel in only 5 minutes. The collaboration aims to enhance hydrogen distribution infrastructure in Europe, with Toyota providing a test vehicle equipped with Twin Mid Flow technology for testing in the EU-funded RHeaDHy project. This project seeks to expedite the development of hydrogen refuelling stations, making hydrogen-powered transportation more efficient and accessible. ENGIE, a key player in the initiative, emphasizes the significance of the partnership in propelling the hydrogen mobility sector forward. The project not only focuses on reducing refuelling times but also anticipates cost savings at future hydrogen stations, paving the way for a more sustainable and economical hydrogen fueling network. Overall, this advancement in hydrogen refuelling technology showcases a positive step towards enhancing the efficiency and practicality of hydrogen-powered transportation, contributing to the growth of the sustainable energy sector in Europe.
