The European division of Toyota will be launched in 2022, in Brussels, the production of second generation fuel cell modules, suitable for fuel cell technology linked to the use of hydrogen for the automotive sector.
To facilitate the expansion of its hydrogen technology, from automobiles to different uses, the fuel cell system also featured on the Toyota Mirai has been redesigned in less bulky modules. Starting from January 2022, Toyota will start production of the new modules, more compact and lighter, and capable of providing even greater power density. The modules are available in two shapes, one cubic and one flat and rectangular, to allow for greater flexibility and easier adaptation for a variety of applications.
Toyota began fuel cell development in 1992 and has continued to refine its hydrogen-powered technology; So, 30 years later, technology has evolved even more. TO Zaventem the plant of the Japanese house will host a pilot assembly line, which combines advanced technological contents with high quality assembly. In collaboration with entrepreneurs interested in using Toyota technology in their applications, his Fuel Cell Business Unit will offer the necessary engineering support for integration. This proximity to partners and the ability to closely monitor emerging business opportunities could allow Toyota to rapidly scale up supply.
It must be remembered that despite the commitment of the Japanese brand, hydrogen cars sold in Europe and around the world are very few. However, Toyota firmly believes in hydrogen-based technology and hopes to do so in a broader policy intervention, currently the only chance to bring more resources towards the creation of an entirely new industrial sector. There is something moving, with the hope that the future will see the exclusive use of a green hydrogen, that is, generated by renewable energy.
