Toyota earlierAnnounceIt launched its third-generation fuel cell, claiming it has higher efficiency, lower manufacturing costs and higher output performance than the previous generation design.
According to Toyota, the third-generation fuel cell is twice as durable as the previous generation design, and its output performance is comparable to that of a diesel engine. Therefore, in addition to being used in general electric vehicles, it can also be used in buses, ships, power generation systems or other heavy machinery. At the same time, the combustion efficiency is increased by 2 times, and the power output range can be extended by 1.2%.
Improvements in the design and manufacturing processes of third-generation fuel cells have further reduced production costs, so Toyota expects them to be applied to more product lineups and further promote the popularization of renewable energy use.
Toyota expects that the third-generation fuel cell will be available for market application in 2026, and will first be introduced in the Japanese, European, North American and Chinese markets.
Prior to this, Toyota had already invested heavily in the development of renewable energy applications. In addition to investing in the electric vehicle industry in line with market trends, it also believed that the kinetic energy generated by hydrogen fuel would further change future energy usage patterns.
