Toyota to develop fuel cell delivery trucks for Seven-Eleven Japan

Hydrogen vehicles and power generators to be newly developed by Toyota

Toyota Motor Corporation is set to develop hydrogen-based vehicles and power generators especially made for convenience stores after it announced plans to collaborate with Seven-Eleven Japan on CO2 emissions reduction in distribution and operation.

Fuel cell trucks, in which the refrigeration/freezer unit and the truck itself, are powered by fuel cells, will be introduced along with an energy management system which uses already-installed solar power generators and the items listed below, will be introduced to enable greater energy conservation and CO2 emissions reduction.

A stationary rechargeable battery system will be introduced to stores and can be used as an emergency power source during disasters, in addition to possible applications for energy conservation and CO2 emissions reduction.
