Carmaker Toyota has announced plans to begin testing commercial vans on public roads in Australia next spring, with the aim of launching the world's first hybrid vehicle powered by both hydrogen and electricity.
According to Japan's No. 1 automaker, the HiAce hybrid hydrogen-electric multi-purpose van that the company has just introduced to the media has a 20% increased range, up to 250 km, compared to when running on hydrogen alone.
The test is part of Toyota's "multi-pronged strategy" through which the world's leading automaker aims to offer a range of "green" vehicles - including gasoline-electric hybrids, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCEVs) and battery electric vehicles (BEVs) - to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and meet local market needs.
Toyota has been testing FCEVs in Australia since last year, but decided to test a hydrogen-electric hybrid to address challenges such as limited range and a lack of hydrogen refuelling stations.
“It is true that our customers are having a hard time due to the lack of hydrogen stations nearby and the high cost of fuel,” said Toyota Executive Vice President Hiroki Nakajima. However, Nakajima said Toyota “will persevere” to make the dream of a hydrogen society a reality.
