July 22, 2022: -Big Automotive Toyota, along with three different partners, is planning to work on the development of light-duty fuel cell electric trucks to move them out in Japan in the subsequent year.
On Tuesday, Toyota said it would unite with Isuzu, Hino Motors, and Commercial Japan Partnership Technologies Corporation on the project. Isuzu and Hino took the statement as Toyota on their separate websites.
One potential use case for the fuel cell vehicles could be in the supermarket and convenience store sector, where Toyota said light-duty trucks were “required to drive long distances over extended hours to perform multiple delivery operations in one day.”
The company has listed short refueling as a requirement for vehicles operating in this segment.
“The use of FC technology, which runs on high energy density hydrogen and has zero CO2 emissions while driving, is considered effective under such operating conditions,” it further said.
According to the company, an introduction to the market is slated for after January 2023, with light-duty fuel-cell trucks used at distribution sites in Fukushima Prefecture and other projects in Tokyo.
Hino Motors is from the Toyota Group, while CJPT was established by Isuzu, Toyota, and Hino in 2021.
Toyota started working on developing fuel-cell vehicles where hydrogen from a tank mixes with oxygen, creating electricity back in 1992.
In 2014, it established the Mirai, a hydrogen fuel enclosure sedan. The business says its fuel cell vehicles emit “nothing but water from the tailpipe.”
Alongside Mirai, Toyota also helped develop larger hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. These include a bus known as the Sora and prototypes of heavy-duty trucks. Alongside fuel partitions, Toyota is examining using hydrogen in internal combustion engines.
Tuesday called Suzuki, Daihatsu, Toyota, and CJPT announced plans to introduce battery electric mini-commercial vehicles to the market in 2023.
“The mini-commercial van BEV developed by these four companies will be used by partners in social implementation projects in Fukushima Prefecture and Tokyo,” the report said.

AspenTech, a Massachusetts-based company, plays a pivotal role in the oil and gas industry by leveraging cutting-edge technologies, including AI (artificial intelligence). Let’s delve into how AspenTech contributes to this dynamic sector
It’s no secret that oil and gas is a boom-and-bust industry. Production is currently up, projected to increase to 13.7 million barrels daily in 2024. But this won’t last forever. Whether production is up or down, the key to maximizing production, optimizing efficiency, and taking advantage of increased profits is innovation, digital transformation,and automation.For stakeholders looking to deliver safer, more efficient, and cheaper energy, innovation and automation must be a top priority. Those who fall behind in the race to innovate, ultimately, run the risk of losing market share.
Talking to Thomas Hundertmark, a senior partner in McKinsey’s Houston office, Darren Woods is chairman and CEO of ExxonMobil made some crucial points and also gave some insights on what the conglomerate was doing in order to save the climate.
When Darren Woods took the reigns of ExxonMobil six years ago, no one could have anticipated that the Kansas resident would soon face what Texas oil patch vets call “a whole pile of trouble.” Three years later, the oil market collapsed during the COVID-19 pandemic, which dealt the 140-year-old oil organization its first annual upset in four decades.
Today oil and gas producers face severe regulatory and public relations obstacles due to the concern with greenhouse gases and resource depletion. Calgary-based start-up, Advanced Upstream (“AU”), has been disrupting the oil and gas industry with simple and reliable innovative technologies. AU’s products help the oil and gas producers to enhance energy production while reducing the corresponding environmental impact. By decreasing personnel and time on site, and lowering overall HSE risks across the board, the clients can see a notable improvement in their ESG rating, contributing to their bottom line.
Jasmin Staiblin, Chief Executive Officer of ABB Switzerland, says, “Global energy consumption continues to grow and, if left unabated, will lead to an ever-greater risk of irreversibly changing our climate. To take advantage of more sustainable energy sources, the energy landscape is in a state of profound change to allow the integration of increasing amounts of renewable energy sources into the grid, to allow infrastructure to run more intelligently and efficiently, and to ensure the supply of energy is available at all times.
