Challenge 1

By 2030 our goal is to annually sell more than 5.5 million electrified vehicles around the world, including more than 1 million zero-emission vehicles (battery electric and fuel cell electric vehicles).

The estimate of global average CO2 emissions reduction in g-CO2/km from new vehicles will be 35% or more, depending on market conditions, compared to 2010 levels.

The core of our electrified vehicle strategy involves moving away from conventional powertrains, and significantly accelerating the development and launch plans of hybrid electric (HEV), plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV), battery electric (BEV) and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV).

In practice this means that by 2030 we aim to have sales of more than 5.5 million electrified vehicles, including more than 1 million zero-emission vehicles (BEV, FCEV). Additionally, by around 2025, every model in the Toyota and Lexus line-up around the world will be available as a dedicated electrified model or have an electrified option.

An established joint venture involving Toyota represents a landmark in the emergence of a hydrogen-based society in France and in the development of Hype, the world’s first fleet of zero-emission hydrogen-powered taxis. Hype was launched in 2015 during the COP21 and operates in Paris and the Île-de-France region.

The joint venture – called HysetCo – is between Air Liquide, Idex, Société du Taxi Électrique Parisien (STEP) and Toyota. It’s the first ever company devoted to the development of hydrogen mobility in the Paris region.

HysetCo will make it easier to roll out hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and their recharging infrastructure within the Île-de-France region. Out of the 600 additional taxis that are planned by the end of 2020, Toyota will deliver 500 Mirai cars.

Through this project the partners are reinforcing their firm commitment to clean mobility and the improvement of air quality. It also clearly illustrates that hydrogen mobility is a suitable solution for intensive applications like passenger transportation. The organisation’s mission is to promote the sector’s transition towards zero emissions, with an objective of “zero emissions for taxis by the 2024 Paris Olympic Games”.

The London Metropolitan Police Service has teamed-up with our Toyota Mirai to help create the world’s largest fleet of zero-emission police vehicles.

The only tailpipe emission the Mirai produces is water – a by-product of the fuel cell process which turns hydrogen into electricity to power the vehicle. The Mirai’s zero-emission performance will help the Met in its efforts to support the Mayor of London’s clean air strategy.

The Met confirmed that they are delighted to have taken delivery of 11 of these cars to support policing in London. They are the Met’s first entirely zero-emission response vehicles.

The Mirai will have access to five hydrogen filling stations across the capital – a number that’s set to increase in the years ahead.

With 45 Mirai, the Berlin start up CleverShuttle started a ride hailing success story. More than 5 Million kilometers within less than two years are a perfect proof for reliability and suitability for daily use.

Early 2020, two Toyota Mirai cars were registered by the Berlin Police Department, who use them heavily in daily patrol duties. The Mirai are fully equipped with siren, radio equipment, light-signal system and painted in typical blue silver.

But what could be a better proof for the safety and usability of this technology. Since May 2020 the Berlin Fire brigade put four Toyota Mirai in operations, using the car mainly for operation controlling, early responder and as lead car for different purposes.
