Hino Unveils Japan's First Mass-Produced Fuel Cell Heavy-Duty Truck
日野推出日本首款量產燃料電池重型卡車
Pioneering Hydrogen Truck for Japan's Logistics Industry
日本物流業先驅氫氣卡車
Hino Motors, the commercial vehicle arm of Toyota Group, has launched Japan's first mass-produced heavy-duty fuel cell truck, the Profia Z FCV.
豐田集團旗下商用車部門日野汽車 (Hino Motors) 推出了日本首款量產的重型燃料電池卡車 Profia Z FCV。
Scheduled for release on October 24, 2025, the Profia Z FCV represents a landmark shift towards decarbonizing Japan's logistics sector, where heavy trucks account for approximately 60% of commercial vehicle CO2 emissions.
Profia Z FCV 計畫於 2025 年 10 月 24 日發布，代表日本物流業脫碳里程碑式轉變，其中重型卡車約占商用車輛二氧化碳排放量的 60 ％。
Advanced Technology and Design
先進技術與設計
Built on the familiar Profia large truck platform but with a redesigned chassis optimized for fuel cell integration, the Profia Z FCV features six high-pressure hydrogen tanks capable of storing 50 kg of hydrogen at 70 MPa.
Profia Z FCV 以熟悉的 Profia 大型卡車平台為基礎，重新設計底盤，針對燃料電池整合進行最佳化，配備六個高壓氫氣罐，能夠在 70 Mpa 壓力之下儲存 50 公斤氫氣。
Its drivetrain utilizes two adapted fuel cell stacks from Toyota's second-generation Mirai sedan, combined with lithium-ion batteries and dual AC synchronous motors, ensuring stable power output even at full load.
其動力傳動系統採用豐田第二代 Mirai 轎車的兩組改裝燃料電池組，結合鋰離子電池與雙交流同步電動機，即使在滿載狀態也能保證穩定功率輸出。
The truck boasts an impressive driving range of up to 650 kilometers on highways, with refueling times comparable to diesel vehicles at 15 to 30 minutes.
這款卡車在高速公路行駛里程高達 650 公里，加油時間與柴油車相當，為 15 至 30 分鐘。
Its dimensions measure 11.99 meters long, 2.49 meters wide, and 3.78 meters high, with a payload capacity of about 11.6 tonnes in the dry van variant, matching the requirements of regional logistics.
其大小為長 11.99 公尺、寬 2.49 公尺、高 3.78 公尺，乾貨車型的淨載貨量約為 11.6 公噸，符合區域物流要求。
Rigorous Testing and Real-World Validation
嚴格測試與實際驗證
Since 2023, Hino and Toyota have conducted extensive field testing involving logistics partners such as Asahi Group, Seino Transportation, Yamato Transport, and NEXT Logistics Japan.
自 2023 年以來，日野和豐田已經與朝日集團、西濃運輸、大和運輸以及 NEXT Logistics Japan 等物流合作夥伴，廣泛進行了現場測試。
These trials have accumulated over 430,000 kilometers, demonstrating significant CO2 emissions reductions—estimated at 232 tons compared to diesel alternatives—and win widespread praise for quiet operation, instant torque delivery, and driver comfort due to reduced vibration.
這些試驗已累計超過 430,000 公里，證明二氧化碳排放量顯著減少（與柴油替代品相比，估計減少 232 噸）；並且由於運轉安靜、扭矩即時輸出以及振動減少，帶給駕駛舒適度而贏得廣泛讚譽。
Strategic Deployment and Future Prospects
策略部署與未來展望
Initially, the Profia Z FCV will be offered exclusively through leasing with full maintenance, focusing on five Japanese regions designated as fuel cell truck priority zones by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry: Fukushima, Tokyo/Kanagawa, Aichi, Hyogo, and Fukuoka.
初期，Profia Z FCV 將以租賃形式提供，並提供全面維護，重點關注日本經濟產業省指定的五個燃料電池卡車優先區域：福島、東京／神奈川、愛知、兵庫以及福岡。
This approach aims to build vital operational experience and promote infrastructure development in areas with high logistics throughput.
這方法是為了累積重要營運經驗，並促進物流吞吐量高的區域基礎設施發展。
Moreover, Hino plans to unveil a Level 4 automated driving-capable concept version at the 2025 Japan Mobility Show, integrating advanced automation with zero-emission technology.
此外，日野計畫於 2025 年日本行動旅行展上推出一款支援 4 級自動駕駛的概念版，將先進自動化技術與零排放技術相結合。
The Profia Z FCV not only provides a practical pathway for reducing emissions from some of the most challenging vehicle segments but sets a precedent for hydrogen mobility's future in Japan and beyond.
Profia Z FCV 不僅為減少一些最具挑戰性的車輛領域排放提供切實可行的途徑，並且為日本及其他地區氫能交通的未來，樹立了先例。
This breakthrough vehicle highlights the potential for hydrogen fuel cell technology to overcome limitations faced by battery electric trucks, especially in long-haul scenarios where range, payload, and quick refueling are critical.
這款突破性車輛凸顯氫燃料電池技術克服電動卡車面臨限制的潛力，特別是在續行里程、有效載荷以及快速加油至關重要的長途運輸情況下。
As Japan leads the way, this initiative could inspire similar deployments across Asia and globally, signaling a major step toward zero-emission heavy transport.
在日本引領之下，這項舉措可能會激發亞洲乃至全球類似的部署，表示向零排放重型運輸邁出了重要一步。
