Toyota, Nissan, Honda to Fund Hydrogen Fuel Cell Infrastructure in Japan

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, hydrogen fuel cells are a reliable, clean, quiet and efficient source of energy. While gasoline and diesel vehicles emit nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons and particulate matter, which are a major source of pollution, Hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicles emit none of these harmful substances. Their only emission is water and warm air.

Toyota Motor Corporation, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., and Honda Motor Co., Ltd. have joined forces to develop hydrogen station infrastructure in Japan. The three automakers will partially cover the costs of hydrogen stations, and will also provide support to infrastructure companies for the creation of a hassle-free refueling network for the owners of fuel cell vehicles (FCVs).
