Honda, Isuzu agree to conduct joint research on fuel cell trucks english.kyodonews.net

Isuzu has been looking to enhance the lineup of its trucks to respond to growing demand for self-driving and low-emissions vehicles, while Honda, which makes Clarity fuel cell cars, seeks to expand the application of its fuel cell technology beyond use for passenger vehicles.
Honda and Isuzu said that "the use of fuel cell trucks and hydrogen energy can contribute to the future prosperity of the logistics industry and all other industries in our society and to the early realization of a hydrogen society."
Toyota Motor Corp., which introduced the world's first mass-produced fuel cell car, the Mirai, in 2014, also promotes next-generation technology.
It seeks to boost global sales of fuel cell vehicles to 30,000 a year sometime after 2020.
Toyota said last year it will supply its fuel cell technology to Beijing Automotive Group Co. in a bid to expand business in China, the world's largest auto market by volume.
