Toyota's Hydrogen Pickup Set for 2028 with 248-Mile Range

Toyota has announced that its hydrogen fuel cell pickup truck will arrive in 2028, offering an estimated range of 248 miles. This move underscores Toyota’s continued investment in hydrogen technology as a complement to its electric vehicle lineup.

The pickup will utilize Toyota’s second-generation fuel cell system, which is designed to be more efficient and durable than the previous iteration. The company has not yet disclosed which market will receive the vehicle first or its expected price.

Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles face challenges such as limited refueling infrastructure and high production costs. However, Toyota remains committed to hydrogen as part of a multi-pathway approach to reducing emissions, especially for larger vehicles where battery weight is a concern.

This announcement follows Toyota’s broader strategy to expand its hydrogen offerings beyond the Mirai sedan, including buses and trucks. The automaker aims to have the pickup available in key regions by 2028.
