Japan’s largest carmaker Toyota Motor and four other Japanese carmakers will look at the use of alternative green fuels for cars with internal combustion engines, including hydrogen and synthetic biomass fuels.

In addition to Toyota, Mazda Motor, Subaru, Yamaha Motor and Kawasaki Heavy Industries will also take part in the project.
Adapting internal combustion engines to green fuels such as hydrogen is technologically demanding, but it would allow companies to support existing supply chains. They have been in operation for decades and employ hundreds of thousands of workers.

Carmakers, including Toyota, are increasing production of electric cars due to tightening emission limits. Japan has said it wants to be carbon neutral by 2050 and supports the use of hydrogen fuel.
Toyota plans to introduce 15 models of electric vehicles by 2025 and will invest $ 13.5 billion (CZK 297.9 billion) in the next decade to expand battery production capacity. At the same time, however, it continues to develop hydrogen-powered vehicles.
