Kyodo News: Toyota and other Japanese automakers will promote hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles in Bangkok, Thailand

Commercial Japan Partner Technologies (CJPT), a commercial vehicle alliance formed by Toyota Motor, and Hino Motor recently held a test drive of a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle (FCVS) in Bangkok, Thailand. This is part of contributing to a decarbonized society. 

Japan's Kyodo News agency reported that the test drive will be open to local media on Monday. The event introduced Toyota s SORA bus, Hino s heavy truck, and electric vehicle (EV) versions of pickup trucks, which are in high demand in Thailand, using fuel cells.

Funded by Toyota, Isuzu, Suzuki and Daihatsu Industries, CJPT is dedicated to addressing transportation industry issues and achieving decarbonization, with an intention to contribute to decarbonization technology in Asia, starting from Thailand. Toyota has partnered with Thailand's largest chaebol Group to produce hydrogen.

CJPT President Yuki Nakajima said, We will explore the most appropriate way to achieve carbon neutrality depending on the situation of each country.
