Toyota Hydrogen Hilux FCEV Confirmed for 2028

The Hilux has always sold on capability, and Toyota is betting that hydrogen keeps that proposition intact where battery weight and charging time would compromise it — particularly for the towing and fleet use cases this truck lives in. Five-minute refueling and 248 miles of range are the numbers that matter here: they preserve the working-vehicle rhythm that operators actually need. The European fleet focus is telling; this isn't a consumer play, it's Toyota finding the market segment where hydrogen's practical advantages are hardest to argue against. Whether the refueling infrastructure catches up by 2028 remains the real question the article leaves open.
