Maintaining Toyota engines, balancing hydrogen electricity, focusing on ‘passive electric vehicles’ and ‘hydrogen commercial vehicles’
Toyota Motor Corporation announced its focus on “passive electric vehicles” and “hydrogen commercial vehicles” in maintaining the balance of hydrogen and electric vehicles while maintaining the engine.
Toyota President Tsuneharu Sato (53) said on the 3rd that “the two pillars of electricity and hydrogen ultimately exist in balance” as the energy source for vehicles, “electric vehicles for sale at car stores” and “construction of a hydrogen society focusing on commercial vehicles.”
Regarding the conversion of cars to electric vehicles, he said, “The conversion process has to be realistic. If everything becomes electric vehicles (EVs) from tomorrow, will the social system be able to transition smoothly?”
Leading the development of a manual mode for electric vehicles (EVs), he said, “The propulsion of electric vehicles using motors is responsive and can produce strong driving force immediately and can increase added value, but without sound and vibration, the emotional element is lost.” Electric cars are not perfume. If you add emotional elements to the driving force, it is an opportunity to create a 'driving pleasure' that has never been seen before.”
A balance between the two pillars of electricity and hydrogen Regarding the automobile era, “No one doubts the usefulness of electricity, but hydrogen is easy to change because of its excellent storability.” In the end, it is a balance between the two pillars of electricity and hydrogen.”
Regarding the’development situation of hydrogen cars’, he said, “We have reached the seventh station from the peak of commercialization,” and said, “We have combustion control technology, and we are developing exhaust gas treatment related technology.”
He continued, “The superiority of fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) or hydrogen-powered vehicles depends on the vehicle and driving method. .
He said that both electric vehicles and hydrogen vehicles are “necessary for the continued development of the ‘hydrogen society’” and that “hydrogen consumption will be led by commercial vehicles, and as infrastructure (hydrogen) development is encouraged and the importance of hydrogen increases, it will also spread to passenger cars.” revealed
Having joined Toyota as an engineer, he became president of diesel engine development in January.
