The stated aim is to create competitive products based on the technologies of both companies.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The partners say that by combining\u00a0Daimler and Volvo’s commercial vehicle expertise with Toyota’s background in fuel cells, they will be able to\u00a0develop, produce\u00a0and commercialise\u00a0fuel cell systems for heavy-duty on- and off-road transport and other heavy-duty applications with comparable requirements.\u00a0They also\u00a0aim to actively support the development of hydrogen supply and infrastructure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018World-leading\u2019 HGV fuel cell systems planned<\/p>\n
Koji Sato, president and CEO at Toyota, said: \u201cWe are deeply grateful for the opportunity to soon be joining Daimler Truck and Volvo Group as partners in building a hydrogen society.<\/p>\n
\u201cCellcentric, which possess deep expertise in commercial fields together with Toyota’s over 30 years of fuel cell development in the passenger car sector, can combine their strengths to deliver one of the world-leading fuel cell systems for heavy commercial vehicles.<\/p>\n
\u201cToyota will continue to contribute to realising a hydrogen society alongside like-minded partners.”<\/p>\n
Karin R\u00e5dstr\u00f6m, president and CEO at Daimler Truck, said: \u201cWe are proud that Toyota plans to join Cellcentric as a shareholder. This will enable us to strengthen development and further scale hydrogen technology, which we believe complements battery-electric drives in decarbonising transport.”<\/p>\n
Martin Lundstedt, president and CEO at Volvo Group. said: \u201cWe are thrilled to explore this collaboration with Toyota, so that we through Cellcentric can accelerate and create critical mass for hydrogen applications.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is an important signal to customers, suppliers, and others in the ecosystem. Given the importance of accelerating the transformation into net-zero transportation, the need of great companies coming together and collaborating is more important than ever.<\/p>\n
\u201cWelcoming Toyota onboard will be a big leap towards realising decarbonisation of our industries.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Toyota has\u00a0become an equal shareholder in hydrogen fuel cell venture Cellcentric, alongside Daimler Truck and Volvo.
