Toyota Mirai Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles Paris HYPE Taxi Fleet
25Last July marked a major milestone for sustainable mobility in Paris, France. HYPE, the world’s first taxi company operating exclusively with hydrogen vehicles took delivery of 25 Toyota Mirai Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles. After almost 3 years of operation this delivery takes HYPE’s fleet to 100 vehicles.
For Toyota, this represents a concrete example of how its Environmental Challenge 2050 is reducing the environmental impact of its vehicles. Toyota’s ultimate goal is to support the world’s transition from a carbon to a hydrogen based society. More than 6000 Mirai are currently on the road globally, but the ambition is to sell 30,000 FC vehicles in the 2020’s. This delivery goes some way towards achieving that target.
In France, since June 1st 2018, hydrogen is gaining momentum. As part of the National Hydrogen Plan announced by the French Government, hydrogen mobility has been identified as a key element of this initiative.
This initiative is part of project ZEFER* that has received funding from the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen 2 Joint Undertaking (FCH JU) under grant agreement No 779538. This Joint Undertaking receives support from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme and Hydrogen Europe and Hydrogen Europe Research.
