Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) will even more advance 2 hydrogen engine innovations at the ENEOS Super Taikyu Series 2025 Empowered by BRIDGESTONE Round 7 Super Taikyu Final Thanksgiving Festival, to be held from November 15 to 16.

The race will include the # 32 TGRR GR Corolla H2 idea (hereinafter the “liquid hydrogen-powered GR Corolla”which works on liquid hydrogen fuel.

In addition, Toyota is constantly advancing superconductivity innovation advancement to even more develop liquid hydrogen innovation, now reaching the phase where automobiles geared up with superconducting motors for liquid hydrogen pumps can run. We will continue advancement along with our partners, intending to complete in future races.

Toyota will continue progressing to supply clients all over the world with a variety of alternatives under its multi-pathway method towards attaining carbon neutrality.

In addition, in combination with the Japan-U.S. automobile cultural exchange occasion arranged by the Automobile Business & & Culture Association of Japan, lorries produced in the United States will be shown in case plaza throughout the race duration. By supplying a chance for visitors to experience the appeal of U.S.-market lorries, Toyota will add to the exchange of automobile culture in between Japan and the United States.

Advancing Liquid Hydrogen-Powered Engine Technology

The liquid hydrogen-powered GR Corolla attained substantial development throughout the ENEOS Super Taikyu Series 2025 Empowered by BRIDGESTONE Round 3 NAPAC Fuji 24 Hours Race, held from May 30 to June 1. These consisted of improved security and weight decrease through the intro of a brand-new filling valve, and the effective presentation of a hydrogen engine combustion changing innovation. The best accomplishment was finishing the race without changing the pump that pressurizes liquid hydrogen for shipment to the engine, verifying enhanced sturdiness.

Increased engine output continued to position a higher load on the pump, providing toughness difficulties for constant operation at optimal output. To reach the next level, Toyota will continue performing trial run to validate the pump’s increase efficiency and toughness even after the 24 Hours Race. In this race, Toyota intends to attain constant operation at optimal output.

Toyota is likewise continuing to establish superconductivity innovation to broaden the capacity of liquid hydrogen innovation, and has actually reached the phase where automobiles can keep up a superconducting pump set up inside the fuel tank. Setting up an extremely effective, compact superconducting motor inside the tank produces area that can assist attain more than a 1.3-fold boost in tank capability, resulting in enhanced travelling variety. In addition, enhancements in driving efficiency through decreased weight and a lower center of mass, along with a decrease in boil-off * 1 volume by removing the flange * 2 as a heat input source, can be anticipated.

The -253 ° C environment distinct to liquid hydrogen offers a perfect temperature level variety for superconductivity, where particular products lose all electrical resistance when cooled to incredibly low temperature levels. By making the most of the compatibility in between liquid hydrogen cars and superconductivity innovation, Toyota will significantly broaden the capacity of hydrogen engine cars.

Displaying U.S.-Produced Vehicles

In combination with the Japan-U.S. vehicle cultural exchange occasion including NASCAR driving sessions hosted by the Automobile Business & & Culture Association of Japan, Toyota will show 3 designs popular with lots of consumers in the U.S. at the occasion plaza on both days, Saturday, November 15 and Sunday, November 16: the Camry sedan, the Highlander SUV, and the Tundra pickup. Visitors will have the ability to see and ride in these lorries to experience the appeal of U.S.-produced designs not offered in Japan.
