Research and development for a hydrogen-powered fuel cell will be carried out at Toyota's Burnaston plantToyota has signed an £11.3m deal to help it develop a new range of hydrogen-powered pickup trucks.The funding will allow Toyota to set up a pilot production line for its Hilux FC model at its plant near Derby.
Hydrogen-powered vehicles do not use electricity stored in a battery but generate it, with zero emissions, through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen. "This multi-million-pound boost - created by government working hand-in-hand with industry - will put firms in pole position to pioneer these innovations, staying at the cutting edge of the global race for decades to come."
APC chief executive Ian Constance said: "Supporting vital research and development in the UK, now more than ever, provides an opportunity to invest in transport decarbonisation as well as boost growth in the automotive sector."
