• Toyota and Scania announce a partnership to test hydrogen fuel cell solutions for heavy-duty transport.
• Toyota’s third-generation fuel cell systems will be integrated into 40 Scania heavy-duty vehicles within Scania’s Pilot Partner programme.
• The collaboration will provide real-world insights from operations to evaluate the potential of hydrogen fuel cell technology in selected heavy-duty applications.

SÖDERTÄLJE, Sweden / BRUSSELS, Belgium - Toyota and Scania today announced a partnership to advance hydrogen fuel cell solutions for heavy-duty mobility through real-world logistics operations.

In this collaboration, Toyota will supply fuel cell systems for 40 heavy-duty vehicles within Scania’s Pilot Partner programme. The programme brings Scania together with selected customers to evaluate a wide range of sustainable transport technologies, including hydrogen fuel cell system, under real operating conditions. As zero-emissions heavy-duty fuel cell applications continue to expand, this initiative is expected to deliver confirmation of technical performance, operational efficiency and total cost of ownership. By integrating Toyota’s hydrogen fuel cell technology into this framework, the partnership will evaluate how fuel cell electric trucks can support demanding heavy-duty transport operations.

The vehicles will be equipped with Toyota’s latest third-generation fuel cell system, which delivers 300 kW of power in a highly compact design for heavy-duty applications and a wide range of other use cases.

The first Scania hydrogen fuel cell electric trucks will start operating during the first quarter of 2027.
