- New website to support Toyota Hydrogen Solutions (THS), a
business unit in Toyota's North American Hydrogen Headquarters that
focuses on promoting hydrogen-powered products, services and
solutions primarily to commercial customers to support their goals
for reliable eco-conscious power and systems
- Website to feature THS products that are scalable for use in
applications from stationary power generation to powertrains for
Class 8 heavy-duty trucks, using Toyota's proven fuel cell
stacks
ANAHEIM,
Calif., April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Toyota
Motor North America (TMNA) today announced the launch of a new
commercially focused Toyota Hydrogen Solutions webpage as a
business hub for those interested in Toyota's hydrogen-related
products, services and solutions. The new site will offer product
information, provide case study examples, and offer contact
information to help customers find products that offer them a
pathway to reduce their emissions using Toyota's proven
hydrogen-powered fuel cell technologies.
The new website was announced at the Advanced Clean
Transportation Expo, where Toyota is showcasing how fuel cell
technology can be used as a source of cleaner power to generate
electricity to power devices and vehicle powertrains. Many of these
fuel cells are already helping Toyota reduce emissions across its
supply chain, and now Toyota is offering North American customers
the ability to help them do the same.
Applications for fuel cells include stationary power generation
capabilities, Class 8 semi-truck powertrains, modular commercial
systems power and other innovations.
"While Toyota continues to offer its hydrogen-powered fuel cell
electric technology in vehicle powertrains, we are more than a
powertrain supplier," said Jay
Sackett, TMNA R&D chief engineer of Advanced Mobility.
"We aim to provide a host of efficient solutions that help get work
done. This new website is a clear indication that we are open for
business and eager to offer technologies to benefit our
customers."
Today, Toyota's fuel cell stacks can be found in a host of
products, from the 2025 Toyota Miral FCEV sedan to quietly
replacing diesel engines as backup power generators. Toyota fuel
cells are also employed as powertrains in heavy machinery such as
port and cargo-handling equipment and even passenger buses –
emitting only water vapor.
Fuel cells work by binding Earth's most abundant element,
hydrogen, with oxygen to create electricity. Gaseous hydrogen can
be found naturally or produced by processing water through an
electrolyzer. It can also be processed from natural gas or
steam-reformed methane, which can be sourced from water treatment
centers and landfills.
"Toyota Hydrogen Solutions is here to offer society a proven
technology and a pathway to a potentially cleaner fuel source,"
said Thibaut de Barros Conti, TMNA
general manager of Fuel Cell Solutions and Hydrogen Headquarters
co-lead. "Using these technologies, with Toyota activating with key
partners in the H2 supply chain, opens a clear path for a more
sustainable hydrogen ecosystem."
TMNA has been developing hydrogen fuel cell technologies in the
U.S. for more than 30 years. The 2015 Toyota Mirai sedan was the
first mass-produced fuel cell electric vehicle to go on sale to the
public. Since then, the Gardena,
California-based Hydrogen Headquarters (NA H2HQ) office has
expanded operations and use cases and has performed vigorous tests
with fuel cells in temperatures lower than -20° Fahrenheit in
Canada to nearly 150° in
Death Valley.
Globally, Toyota has sold more than 2,700 commercial fuel cell
units to more than 100 customers. Toyota has prepared to assemble
fuel cell module kits domestically in Georgetown, Kentucky.
