The FC modules bring Toyota&#8217;s electrification strategy further into focus as it will allow truck manufacturers to incorporate emissions-free fuel cell electric technology into existing platforms with the technical support of Toyota under the hood.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re bringing our proven electric technology to a whole new class of production vehicles,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Tetsuo Ogawa<\/span>, president and chief executive officer, Toyota Motor North America. &#8220;Heavy-duty truck manufacturers will be able to buy a fully integrated and validated fuel cell electric drive system, allowing them to offer their customers an emissions-free option in the Class 8 heavy-duty segment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The dual fuel cell modules, which are a key component of an overall FC kit, weigh approximately 1,400 pounds and can deliver up to 160kW of continuous power. The FC kit also includes a high voltage battery, electric motors, transmission and hydrogen storage assembly from top-tier suppliers. Toyota will also offer its powertrain integration expertise that will help truck manufacturers adapt these emissions-free drivetrain systems to a wide variety of applications in the heavy-duty trucking sector.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This second-generation fuel cell system is necessary for a carbon neutral future,&#8221; says <span class=\"xn-person\">David Rosier<\/span>, Toyota Kentucky powertrain head. &#8220;It delivers over 300 miles of range at a full load weight of 80,000 lbs., all while demonstrating exceptional drivability, quiet operation and zero harmful emissions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Toyota will display this technology at the 2021 Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo in <span class=\"xn-location\">Long Beach, California<\/span> on <span class=\"xn-chron\">Aug. 31-Sept. 1<\/span>. A prototype truck powered by Toyota&#8217;s FC kit will also be on display at the show.<\/p>\n<p>\n    <b><br \/>\n      <u>About Toyota <\/u><br \/>\n    <\/b><br \/>\n    <br \/>Toyota (NYSE:TM) has been a part of the cultural fabric in the U.S. for more than 60 years, and is committed to advancing sustainable, next-generation mobility through our Toyota and Lexus brands, plus our nearly 1,500 dealerships.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Toyota has created a tremendous value chain and directly employs more than 36,000 in the U.S. The company has contributed world-class design, engineering, and assembly of more than 30 million cars and trucks at our 9 manufacturing plants, 10 including our joint venture in <span class=\"xn-location\">Alabama<\/span> that begins production in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>To help inspire the next generation for a career in STEM-based fields, including mobility, Toyota launched its virtual education hub at www.TourToyota.com\u00a0with an immersive experience and chance to visit many of our U.S. manufacturing facilities.
