The Hilux Project is Shaping the Landscape of Energy-Efficient Vehicles
03.10.2024
Toyota's Hilux project, in partnership with European Thermodynamics Limited (ETL), is set to reshape the landscape of energy-efficient vehicles. By focusing on advanced thermal management solutions, including reversible fan and multi-fan configurations, the project aims to optimise the performance of the hydrogen fuel cell system.
Effective thermal management is crucial for maintaining the performance and durability of the fuel cell, especially under the challenging conditions typically faced by vehicles like the Toyota Hilux. These innovations not only enhance vehicle efficiency but also contribute to reducing emissions, aligning with global efforts to promote sustainable automotive technology.
Funded by the UK Government's Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC), this initiative exemplifies the power of industry collaboration in driving innovation and achieving sustainability goals. The prototype hydrogen fuel cell-powered Hilux stands as a testament to the potential of combining expertise to create a greener future.
