Toyota, Coca-Cola and Air Liquide have teamed up to conduct a test program on the pilot truck, which uses a renewable hydrogen fuel cell, for Coca-Cola’s long-distance distribution operations.
Hydrogen truck program by Toyota and Coca Cola
This program aims to demonstrate the efficiency and feasibility of hydrogen fuel cell technology in heavy transport, highlighting a joint effort with Air Liquide, which will provide the renewable hydrogen needed for this project.
The hydrogen test truck provided by Toyota is designed to verify the capability of this technology in real working conditions. In addition, the company using fuel cell modules that integrate hydrogen and oxygen molecules to form water and generate electricity, the result is a vehicle whose only emissions are water vapor, setting a new standard in sustainable transportation.
Eric Desbonnets, vice president of Operations and Sustainability for Paris 2024 at Coca-Cola, said:“We are pleased to collaborate with Toyota and Air Liquide on this test of hydrogen solutions for our long-haul logistics operations.
“Among the lessons learned from these proofs of concept will be vital as we move toward eliminating carbon exhaust emissions in our logistics operations by 2040.”
