The Corolla Cross Hydrogen Concept concept car underscores the brand’s multifaceted strategy towards zero emissions

In a world where customer needs and market environments vary greatly, Toyota’s carbon neutrality strategy is to develop and offer multiple technologies to support customers on their individual journey to zero emissions.

This multi-technology strategy – encompassing battery electric, fuel cell electric, plug-in hybrid and hybrid electric vehicles – enables Toyota customers in more than 170 countries and regions around the world to reduce their carbon footprint today. the environment they are in and their daily needs.

Toyota is also convinced that it is still too early to focus on one zero-emission solution and is therefore developing fuel cell, hydrogen combustion and battery electric technologies simultaneously.

This year, through the Rookie Racing team, Toyota has competed in all Japanese Super Taikyu series endurance races with a hydrogen-combustion GR Corolla H2.

This amazing technological advancement has given Toyota engineers the confidence to create a concept vehicle for the road: the Corolla Cross H2 Concept.

By equipping the GR Corolla’s 1.6-litre, three-cylinder, turbocharged engine with high-pressure direct injection hydrogen powertrain technology sourced from the automotive industry, Toyota has succeeded in producing a hydrogen-powered Corolla Cross H2 prototype. develop that can carry five passengers. luggage. Real-world evaluations are currently underway as digital development continues, and the vehicle will soon begin winter testing in northern Japan.

Among other highlights, hydrogen combustion is characterized by the ability to take advantage of existing internal combustion technologies, the speed of refueling and a marked decrease in the use of rare elements such as lithium and nickel. By adapting current technologies and leveraging existing investments, hydrogen combustion can lead to more accessible, widespread and rapid carbon reduction.

To this day, Toyota has gone about 40% of the way to bring outstanding products like the Corolla Cross H2 Concept to the market. It’s too early to say the technology will eventually be mature enough to be incorporated into road models, but it certainly presents a clear opportunity in motorsport.
