Toyota launches new, commercially focused hydrogen business website; Gen 3 FC system
29 April 2025
Toyota Motor North America (TMNA) launched the commercially focused Toyota Hydrogen Solutions webpage as a business hub for those interested in Toyota’s hydrogen-related products, services and solutions. The new site will offer product information, provide case study examples, and offer contact information to help customers find products that offer them a pathway to reduce their emissions using Toyota’s proven hydrogen-powered fuel cell technologies.
The new website was announced at the Advanced Clean Transportation Expo, where Toyota is showcasing how fuel cell technology can be used as a source of cleaner power to generate electricity to power devices and vehicle powertrains. Applications for fuel cells include stationary power generation capabilities, Class 8 semi-truck powertrains, modular commercial systems power and other innovations.
Toyota’s fuel cell stacks can be found in a range of products, from the 2025 Toyota Miral FCEV sedan to replacing diesel engines as backup power generators. Toyota fuel cells are also employed as powertrains in heavy machinery such as port and cargo-handling equipment and passenger buses.
TMNA has been developing hydrogen fuel cell technologies in the US for more than 30 years. The 2015 Toyota Mirai sedan was the first mass-produced fuel cell electric vehicle to go on sale to the public. Since then, the Gardena, California-based Hydrogen Headquarters (NA H2HQ) office has expanded operations and use cases and has performed vigorous tests with fuel cells in temperatures lower than -20° Fahrenheit in Canada to nearly 150° in Death Valley.
Globally, Toyota has sold more than 2,700 commercial fuel cell units to more than 100 customers. Toyota has prepared to assemble fuel cell module kits domestically in Georgetown, Kentucky.
At a keynote during the ACT Expo’s Hydrogen Workshop, Toyota Group Vice President of Powertrain Engineering Jordan Choby announced plans to introduce hydrogen-powered fuel cell electric Class 8 heavy-duty trucks as part of an effort to reduce the number of diesel-powered tractor trailers servicing Toyota’s North America Parts Center California (NAPCC). To support the new hydrogen trucks in the fleet, the company also announced plans for a new hydrogen fueling station to be built on the NAPCC campus, as well as plans to further invest and vertically integrate into the hydrogen ecosystem.
Toyota also debuted its next-generation fuel cell technology in North America, the Toyota Gen 3 FC system. For heavy truck powertrains, the Gen 3 FC is anticipated to go more than 600,000 miles (1 million kilometers) without a need for major service, a maintenance schedule on par with comparable diesel-powered trucks.
