While its hydrogen passenger cars like the Mirai haven’t dominated the market, the company believes this technology could be ideal for larger vehicles, such as pickups and trucks. Toyota’s advanced mobility chief engineer, Jay Sackett, highlighted the benefits for light-duty trucks, noting the possibility of achieving long ranges without the need for large battery packs. A hydrogen fuel cell Tundra is already in testing in Japan, showcasing the viability of this concept. The company has also explored fuel cell technology in heavy-duty trucks, achieving over 300 miles range with the Kenworth T680 FCEV, a Class 8 semi-truck, during trials in California. These developments point to Toyota’s ongoing commitment to hydrogen fuel as a sustainable energy source for various vehicle types, though no official decision on producing a fuel cell pickup for the market has been announced yet.
