Toyota's fuel-cell hybrid vehicle, the FCHV-adv, will be placed into a trial programme between Narita International Airport and other destinations starting on January 29. The Toyota FCHV-adv will be used in a car service operating from Narita Airport for the Welcome Home Limousine Taxi Service for passengers returning to Japan on flights from Europe or the US.
Its involvement is part of a request from the Research Association of Hydrogen Supply/Utilisation Technology, which is part of the Hydrogen Highway Project being run by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry within its Demonstration Program for Establishing a Hydrogen-based Social System.
As part of the same project, Toyota has also been supplying an FCHV-BUS fuel-cell hybrid bus that is used on a commercial route between Tokyo International Airport and central Tokyo. Toyota is expected to use data obtained from the car service trials and conduct ongoing research and development while co-operating with the government and energy industry to advance fuel-cell vehicles.
