Toyota’s Hino to launch Japan fuel cell truck in October

Toyota’s Hino Motors has announced it will launch Japan’s first commercially available hydrogen-powered truck in October, even as weak demand and scarce refuelling infrastructure continue to weigh on the nascent technology’s global prospects. The truck in question—the Profia Z FCV—will use technology derived from Toyota’s Mirai fuel-cell car and will initially be marketed in Tokyo and Nagoya.
