Toyota Industries Corporation and Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation have agreed that Toyota will adopt a Toshiba ESS’s facility to produce and supply hydrogen (H2) made from renewable energy for fuel-cell forklifts used at the Takahama plant of Toyota Industries in Aichi Prefecture.
The system will control the amounts of production and compression of H2 using Toshiba ESS’s groundbreaking H2 energy management system, which includes a H2 demand prediction function that forecasts supply requirements for each fuel-cell forklift, allowing efficient use of energy.
