GR Corolla H2 Concept:
-November 11th and 12th, Fuji Speedway
Toyota entered the race with the GR Corolla H2 Concept, which is equipped with a hydrogen engine.
Compared to the previous model, improvements include improved engine output, weight reduction, and extended cruising range.
Equipped with CO2 recovery equipment:
It is the first to be equipped with a device that captures carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere.
It is combined with a “hydrogen engine that emits almost no CO2 while driving.”
Achieving “carbon minus” while driving.
Features of CO2 recovery equipment:
Take advantage of the engine’s ability to take in large amounts of air.
A mechanism that adsorbs CO2 into a filter and separates it using the heat of engine oil.
The CO2 capture device does not require any power source.
At present, the amount of CO2 that can be captured is limited. This is a technology that can also be installed on gasoline-powered cars.
Liquid hydrogen fuel FCV:
Toyota has been participating in the Super Taikyu Series with hydrogen engine FCVs since 2021.
In 2023, the fuel used will be switched from conventional gaseous hydrogen to liquid hydrogen.

Toyota: Public road test of hydrogen engine vehicle in Australia
We bring you a summary of Hisashi Katsumata’s World View article.
“Bloomberg” (November 11)
It was reported that ”Toyota is demonstrating the hydrogen engine HiAce” on public roads in Australia.
FCV driving demonstration in Australia:
Toyota announced that it will conduct a driving demonstration of a hydrogen engine vehicle on public roads in Australia.
Operates the Hydrogen Engine Hiace near Melbourne, Australia.
The demonstration period is four months until January 2024.
Fuji Speedway:
4 hour endurance race held at Fuji Speedway. Toyota vehicles running on liquid hydrogen.
Equipped with CO2 recovery device:
Additionally, a device to recover carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere is installed in the engine room.
“Bloomberg” (November 13)
“Five Japanese companies, including Toyota, are collaborating on decarbonized fuel and hydrogen engines.”
Five automobile and motorcycle companies including Toyota:
Toward achieving carbon neutrality, ‘expanding fuel options using internal combustion engines’
Toyota and Subaru collaborate:
Participate in the race with a vehicle powered by biodiesel fuel.
Subaru President Tomomi Nakamura (at the time) attended the press conference with Toyota.
“This collaboration on synthetic fuel” was a project proposed by Toyota.
Mazda:
Mazda will participate in the Super Taikyu Series with the MAZDA2 Bio concept.
Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Yamaha Motor:
Started joint research on FCV for motorcycles. From now on, there will be a four-company structure with the addition of Honda and Suzuki.
Achieving carbon neutrality in the motorcycle field by utilizing internal combustion engines.
Changes in EU initiatives:
The EU accepted Germany’s request. ‘Hydrogen engine vehicles are treated the same as EVs.’
In the EU, the policy to completely abolish internal combustion engines has changed.
Use ‘synthetic fuel or biodiesel fuel derived from biomass’.
Review of the internal combustion engine:
The “total abolition of internal combustion engines” is also deeply connected to employment issues.
For EVs alone, the number of parts will be significantly reduced. The decline in employment in the EU is clear.
”The reason why the EU approved synthetic fuels” is to secure employment.
