Japan - Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (MFTBC), which is a subsidiary of Daimler Trucks AG and which shares its headquarters with Daimler Trucks Asia in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa, Japan has announced it plans to commence commercial production of fuel-cell trucks by the late 2020s, in line with its vision to make all new vehicles for the Japanese market CO_2-neutral by 2039. The company in a statement said: "As an integral part of Daimler AG, MFTBC is committed to the Paris Climate Agreement. In order to fulfill this commitment and the growing need for zeroemission transport vehicles, adopting advanced technologies is essential. MFTBC believes that truly CO_2-neutral transportation will only be realized through either battery-powered electric vehicles or hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles. Both battery-powered and fuel-cell vehicles each have their advantages depending on customer requirements and the two technologies are complementary to meet everdiversifying transportation needs".
