Honda Isuzu Motors conducts joint research on heavy-duty trucks using hydrogen January 15, 18:49
Honda and a major truck maker, Isuzu Motors, will jointly conduct technical research on next-generation heavy-duty trucks that run on electricity generated from hydrogen.
According to the announcement, what Honda and Isuzu Motors will jointly research is the technology of fuel cell vehicles.
It is drawing attention as the ultimate eco-car because it runs on electricity generated from hydrogen and emits only water when running.
For passenger cars, Honda has already provided fuel cell vehicles to companies and other companies under lease, and has also partnered with GM = General Motors of the United States to develop fuel cell vehicles.
We intend to utilize these technologies in truck technology development.
In the development of next-generation trucks, the development of electric vehicles that run on electricity and motors charged with batteries is being promoted, but the problem is that large trucks require more batteries and take longer to charge. You.
For this reason, the two companies will conduct joint research for about two years from this month, aiming to utilize the characteristics of fuel cell vehicles that run while generating electricity with hydrogen in large trucks.
Based on the results, we will consider whether to actually commercialize the truck.
In the development of fuel cell vehicles, Toyota Motor Corporation and Seven-Eleven Japan have been jointly introducing them to small trucks for delivery, and are conducting demonstration experiments.
