Excessive-pressure hydrogen tanks manufactured by Toyoda Gosei are used on massive gasoline cell vehicles launched in October by Hino Motors
Excessive-pressure hydrogen tanks manufactured by Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd. are used on massive gasoline cell vehicles launched in October by Hino Motors, Ltd. Business automobiles similar to linehaul vehicles journey lengthy distances in a day and want adequate vary, and the unfold of gasoline cell vehicles is promising to satisfy these wants. Toyoda Gosei will proceed contributing to the realisation of a hydrogen society by the event and manufacturing of hydrogen tanks which are a key part of gasoline cell automobiles.
Background for growth
As a next-generation vitality supply that doesn’t emit CO2 throughout use, the unfold of hydrogen is promising for the achievement of carbon neutrality. Toyoda Gosei has leveraged its experience in polymers similar to molding know-how for plastics and rubber in co-developing, with Toyota Motor Company, a tank that effectively shops hydrogen below excessive stress (approx. 700 atm) for the Mirai (2nd technology) gasoline cell car. These tanks have been produced at Toyoda Gosei’s Inabe Plant since November 2020. The corporate then launched a big high-pressure hydrogen tank in 2023, which has thus far been used on small vehicles and boats.
Define of use
Six Toyoda Gosei tanks are used on every truck, which might maintain about 9 occasions as a lot hydrogen* as a passenger car (Mirai).
