Toyota strikes a deal with Hino Motors to produce hydrogen trucks

The Japanese automotive giant will be joining efforts with the truck maker to design and manufacture a new model of hydrogen-powered, heavy-duty cab-over truck.

The agreement stipulates that the two companies also run tests together and are entitled to use the new truck model for their own purposes however they see fit.

The commercial vehicle will be based on the Hino Profia chassis (see video) and come equipped with dual hydrogen cell batteries giving it around 600 kilometers (375 miles) of range. The next-gen Toyota Mirai packs the same kind of battery in single count.
