Shanghai-headquartered hydrogen solution provider Hydrexia says its Malaysian subsidiary will supply Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) with its containerised mobile hydrogen refuelling stations (HRS).
The undisclosed commercial deal will be key in supporting Toyota’s demonstration of its hydrogen internal combustion engine vehicles (HICEV). The so-called Toyota Corolla Cross H2 Concept was showcased in October.
Details of the agreement, including specifications of the stations were not disclosed. Kallanish has contacted the companies for comment.
Earlier this year, Hydrexia worked with Toyota Malaysia to provide a mobile HRS solution to support the Move to Zero event in Malaysia. The companies said in a joint statement that Hydrexia was chosen due to the safety and functionality of its equipment, plus its ability to deliver within a “short timeframe.”
“We are honoured to work again with Toyota where we can leverage our technological and solution strengths to add values to Toyota’s journey towards carbon neutrality,” says George Gan, the global sales vice president and the general manager for Southeast Asia at Hydrexia.
The Corolla Cross H2 Concept was first revealed in 2022 at the Super Taikyu endurance races in Japan. According to Toyota, this sports car prototype is capable of transporting five passengers and their luggage. It is equipped with the 3-cylinder turbo engine from the GR Corolla with high-pressure hydrogen direct injection engine technology from motorsport activity.
HICEVs are propelled by internal combustion engines that burn hydrogen obtained by decomposing methane or electrolysing water, as well as oxygen in the air, to generate power.
