Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

  • The hydrogen engine-equipped Corolla has undergone rapid improvements in the last two or so months since its participation in the Fuji SUPER TEC 24 Hours Race
  • Toyota is further contributing to carbon neutrality by not only using hydrogen, but ensuring that the hydrogen it is using is green hydrogen (hydrogen produced using renewable energy)
  • By using green hydrogen produced by Obayashi Corporation and Toyota Motor Kyushu, Toyota is encouraging the local production for local consumption of hydrogen energy and expanding energy choice

Toyota City, Japan, July 31, 2021―Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) announced today that it will enter a vehicle equipped with a developmental hydrogen-powered engine at the five-hour-long Super Taikyu Race in Autopolis, which takes place from July 31 to August 1, 2021. The hydrogen engine is being developed as part of Toyota's efforts to realize a carbon-neutral mobility society.

Just as in the previous round, the vehicle will be entered under the ORC ROOKIE #racing banner, and Toyota President Akio Toyoda will participate in the race as the driver Morizo. By entering a hydrogen-powered vehicle that uses green hydrogen produced locally in Kyushu, Toyota intends to further strengthen the hydrogen-centered partnerships it enjoys with other industries in Kyushu.

The hydrogen engine Corolla participated in its first race at the Fuji SUPER TEC 24 Hours Race, which took place at Fuji Speedway on May 21, 2021, with the goal of accelerating the pace of development of its hydrogen engine. In the two or so months since the race, Toyota has implemented a number of improvements both to the car and to its related hydrogen infrastructure.

Improvements implemented over the last two or so months
