Toyota has unveiled a prototype HiAce powered by a hydrogen-fuelled internal combustion engine that will undergo a customer pilot program starting in Australia later this month.The new powertrain technology, offering ultra-low CO2 tailpipe emissions, is the latest step in Toyota’s global multi-pathway approach to decarbonisation that also includes significant investments in carbon-neutral fuels as well as hybrid-electric, plug-in hybrid-electric, battery-electric and fuel-cell electric vehicles.The prototype Hydrogen HiAce will be driven in real-world conditions by Australian companies interested in the potential for fit-for-purpose commercial vehicles with ultra-low CO2 tailpipe emissions.Through this customer drive program, they will have the opportunity to evaluate the technology and provide feedback to Toyota to support further development, with the aim of bringing vehicles powered by hydrogen-fuelled internal combustion engines to full commercialisation.
The first Toyota C-HR was a milestone for both the Toyota brand and the European C-SUV segment. The next generation of the successful model is now being launched. It takes the outstanding quality of its predecessor to a higher level: with avant-garde design, advanced technologies and extensively improved electrified drives that offer higher performance, livelier driving dynamics and an extended electric range. The new model was developed in Europe with European customers in mind and will be built exclusively in Europe, including the assembly of the high-voltage batteries.The first Toyota C-HR was a radical innovation in a highly competitive segment, breaking away from the traditional SUV look with its sharp-edged design that resembles the look of modern sports coupes. With great success: For more than half of the customers, the design of the vehicle was the main reason for the purchase. The C-HR became Toyota's most successful conquest model and helped give the brand a strong emotional dimension, thereby changing public perception of Toyota in Europe.The new generation retains this design, which is reminiscent of a concept car, and combines it with a seamless digital user experience, electrified drives and agile driving characteristics. As such, the new Toyota C-HR has all the qualities to maintain its position as an iconic model, attract new customers and strengthen the Toyota brand in Europe.
