A truck manufacturer has been awarded a grant to test hydrogen powered trucks in real world port environments.<\/p>\n
The grant provided by the Japanese governmental agency, the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), to Hino US, will support the demonstration of Hino\u2019s Class 8 hydrogen fuel cell trucks in collaboration with Toyota Tsusho Corporation, Mitsui E&S Machinery Co Ltd and PACECO CORP.<\/p>\n
Hino said that the NEDO grant is expected to be \u201da beneficial approach for specifically targeting port operations\u201d and environmentally burdened disadvantages communities that California\u2019s initiative concerns.<\/p>\n
Green strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n The team plans to demonstrate zero-emission operation generated by hydrogen power units in daily drayage operations in and around the ports.<\/p>\n Hino will provide several of its prototype Class 8 Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV), recently revealed at the ACT Expo in August 2021 as part of a joint development effort with Toyota.<\/p>\n Also included in the grant programme, will be monitoring and analysis of the operational and maintenance interval data to optimise the efficiency and safety of the vehicles.<\/p>\n Hino is developing a full range of zero emissions vehicles to meet growing customer demand and sees this project as a viable contributor to its \u201cChallenge 2025\u201d strategy, which aims to lower the company\u2019s global emissions footprint through reduced GHG emissions.<\/p>\n The company is a Toyota Group Company which manufactures, sells, and services a lineup of Class 4-8 commercial trucks in the United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A four year trial of hydrogen trucks is to take place at Californian ports<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":2104,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[383,384,10,382,38,23,385],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-2103","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alternative-fuels-greenport","tag-california","tag-hino","tag-hydrogen","tag-hydrogen-trucks","tag-mitsui","tag-port-equipment","tag-toyota"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2103","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2103"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2103\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2105,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2103\/revisions\/2105"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2104"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2103"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2103"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2103"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=2103"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
