D2H Advanced Technologies joins consortium to develop a hydrogen fuel cell-powered Toyota Hilux
05 Dec 2022|784 views
D2H Advanced Technologies is working as part of a consortium of leading British engineering and industry bodies to develop a hydrogen fuel cell-powered version of the Toyota Hilux.
The project, led by Toyota Motor Manufacturing (U.K.) Ltd (TMUK), and funded by the U.K. government through the Advanced Propulsion Centre, will investigate and develop the necessary technologies to integrate the second generation fuel cell components as used in the latest Toyota Mirai within an electrically-propelled Hilux.
D2H will use their experience from years in motorsport to develop the hydrogen powered Toyota Hilux D2H will use their expertise in simulation, aerodynamics and thermodynamics which has been honed over many years in competitive motorsport, to address the challenges involved in developing cooling systems and airflow strategies that deliver maximum efficiency.
The consortium also comprises the highly respected engineering consultancy Ricardo, European Thermodynamics Ltd (ETL), and the insurance industry's automotive research centre, Thatcham Research.
Scheduled to run for two years, the project will see prototype vehicles built at TMUK's Burnaston site in 2023, with small series production a consideration. The project represents an opportunity to support the decarbonisation of the transport sector in what is traditionally a segment which is resistant to electrification.
