Toyota has revealed that its provision of transport services for the Olympics will be used to showcase a raft of fuel cell, automated driving, and mobility as a service innovation designed to slash greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, while improving access for disabled people. Toyota President Akio Toyoda said the goal of the ‘Mobility for All’ programme was to deliver innovations that could both curb environmental impacts and tackle social exclusion. The company said it hoped to make “Tokyo 2020 a turning point in realising a hydrogen society”. As such, the fleet supporting the Games will feature a range of zero emission hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) including the Mirai saloon, a fuel cell bus called the Sora, and fuel cell forklifts. The company said it would demonstrate its automated driving technologies in the Toyota Water Front City and Haneda areas in Tokyo.
