Hino, Toyota Developing Fuel Cell-Electric Tractor

摘要

A heavy fuel cell-electric tractor is in development from Hino Trucks and Toyota Motor North America. The tractor, based on Hino's XL8 chassis, should be ready for introduction in the first half of 2021. Its powertrain will be similar to a Hino heavy truck for Japan. According to the company, the Hino fuel cell-electric tractor will "deliver exceptional capability without harmful emissions." This collaboration expands upon the existing effort to develop a 25-ton FCET (fuel cell-electric truck) for the Japanese market which was announced earlier this year.
