Toyota is partnering with Thai conglomerate Charoen Pokphand (CP) Group to produce hydrogen from farm animal waste to power trucks delivering goods to convenience stores.
The joint venture aims to generate enough hydrogen using biogas derived from animal waste to power the CP Group’s fuel cell vehicles.
Toyota, which has a 30% share in Thailand’s new car market, hopes the project will open new options for next-generation automobiles, other than electric vehicles, with the goal of achieving carbon neutrality. The CP Group operates the 7-Eleven convenience store and supermarket chains in Thailand.
