據能源經濟4月20日消息稱,日本汽車制造商豐田已經與南非燃料巨頭薩索合作開發綠色氫動力汽車生態系統。
兩家公司在本周由EE商業智能公司和英國駐南非高級委員會組織的名為“第二屆南非可再生氫和綠色能源網絡研討會”的活動上宣布了這一計劃。
原型車目前正在日本開發中,豐田南非汽車公司(TSAM)已開始與其母公司進行談判,以在其面市后立即將其進口到南非。
沿途有多個加油站的薩索將負責為該示范項目安裝一個加氫站。
合作伙伴表示,該項目成功的關鍵將是氫動力價值鏈中的其他公司和利益相關者的參與。
薩索總裁兼首席執行官Fleetwood Grobler說:“隨著時間的推移,我們與豐田的合作伙伴關系將包括其他合作伙伴,旨在為氫動力建立一個可持續的端到端基礎設施,最初的重點是試行這一概念。”
TSAM總裁兼首席執行官Andrew Kirby表示,合作伙伴關系也將為其他公司參與氫動力價值鏈創造環境,從而為南非經濟做出可持續貢獻。
Kirby說:“我們對與薩索的合作感到興奮,我們希望這將有助于擴大對充電站和燃料本身等關鍵基礎設施的投資。”

Toyota partners with S African fuel giant Sasol to pioneer hydrogen-powered mobility
Japanese automotive manufacturer Toyota has partnered with South African fuel giant Sasol to develop a green hydrogen-powered mobility ecosystem.
The two companies announced the plan at an event this week organised by EE Business Intelligence and the British High Commission to South Africa, titled '2nd Renewable Hydrogen and Green Powerfuels Webinar for South Africa'.
A prototype is currently under development in Japan, with Toyota South Africa Motors (TSAM) having started negotiations with its mother company to import one to South Africa as soon as they become available.
Sasol, which has a number of filling stations along the route, will be responsible for the installation of a hydrogen refuelling station for the demonstration project.
The partners said that key to the success of the project would be the involvement of other companies and stakeholders along the hydrogen mobility value chain.
"Our partnership with Toyota, which will include other partners over time, aims to build a sustainable end-to-end infrastructure for hydrogen mobility, initially focused on piloting the concept," said Fleetwood Grobler, Sasol President and CEO.
Andrew Kirby, President and CEO of TSAM, said the partnership would also create the environment for others to get involved in the hydrogen mobility value chain, thereby making a sustainable contribution to the South African economy.
"We are excited about the partnership with Sasol, which we hope will assist in scaling up investment in critical infrastructure such as charging stations and the fuel itself," said Kirby.
