Umklamo wokuthola i-hydrogen fuel cell Toyota Hilux pick-up (okuthunyelwe ngaphambilini) usungene esigabeni sawo esilandelayo nesokugcina. Selokhu kwethulwa imoto yokuqala eyisibonelo ngoSepthemba 2023, iToyota kanye nabalingani bayo benhlangano, besekelwa uxhaso lukaHulumeni wase-UK, sebefinyelele esigabeni sokuhlolwa okunzulu kanye nemiboniso.
Ingqophamlando yakamuva kulo msebenzi wokuthuthukisa ngokuhlanganyela ubonisa futhi ububanzi besu le-Toyota lezindlela eziningi elibheke ekungathathini hlangothi kwekhabhoni, lisebenzisa izixazululo ezihlukene ze-powertrain—ugesi oyingxubevange, ugesi oyingxubevange kagesi, ugesi webhethri, ugesi we-fuel cell kanye nama-e-fuels—ukuze ivumelane nezidingo ezahlukene zabasebenzisi nengqalasizinda yendawo.
Sekwakhiwe ama-prototype angu-10 kaphethroli e-Hilux esikhungweni sakwaToyota Motor Manufacturing UK (TMUK) eDerby, e-England. Izimoto ezinhlanu zisahlolwa ukuze zihlole ukuphepha, ukusebenza, ukusebenza, nokuqina, ezikhiqiza idatha yedrayivu yokuhlola ezimweni zomhlaba wangempela.
Amanye amayunithi amahlanu abambe iqhaza emibukisweni yamakhasimende nabezindaba, okuhlanganisa nemidlalo ezayo yama-Olympic kanye ne-Paralympic Games yase-Paris 2024.
Kanye neminyaka engu-30 yocwaningo nokuthuthukiswa kweToyota ngama-hydrogen fuel cell, ulwazi lwephrojekthi ye-Hilux luzofaka isandla esizukulwaneni esilandelayo sobuchwepheshe bama-fuel cell, obuzohlinzeka ngemijikelezo yokuphila emide, ukwanda kwebanga lokushayela kwezimoto kanye nezindleko ezincishisiwe kakhulu.
I-Toyota ilindele ukuthi i-Europe ibe ngenye yezimakethe ezinkulu ze-hydrogen fuel cell ngo-2030, ngokukhula okuqhubekayo kokuhamba nokusetshenziswa kokukhiqiza amandla. Ngenxa yalokhu, ngoZibandlela wezi-2023 iToyota Motor Europe (TME) yamemezela iHydrogen Factory Europe, emele indlela edidiyelwe yakwaToyota ekudambiseni lobu buchwepheshe, kusukela ekuthuthukisweni nasekukhiqizeni kuye ekuthengisweni nasekuthengisweni.
Iphrojekthi ye-fuel cell Hilux prototype iyisitebhisi esibalulekile sokuqhubeka nokuthuthukisa ubuchwepheshe be-hydrogen kanye nokugqugquzela ukukhishwa okubanzi kwe-hydrogen eco-systems nengqalasizinda kulo lonke elaseYurophu, kusho abakwaToyota.
Iphrofayili yemoto. Kusukela yethulwa okokuqala ngo-1968, i-Hilux ikhombise ukunganqotshwa kaninginingi, njengoba inqobe iNorth Pole, izintaba-mlilo zase-Icelandic kanye nezwekazi lase-Antarctic, kanti futhi yazuza ukunqoba kathathu ku-Dakar Rally. I-fuel cell Hilux igcina leyo DNA engaxegi ngenkathi ibheka ikusasa le-zero-carbon.
Ngaphandle, i-fuel cell i-Hilux igcina ubukhulu nokubukeka okuqinile njenge-Hilux yakamuva. Ngokwefomethi ye-extra-cab, ingu-5325 mm ubude, 1855 mm ububanzi no-1810 mm ubude kodwa ngaphansi, ubuchwepheshe be-fuel cell yakwaToyota buyiveza njenge-trailblazer.
Amandla alethwa kusetshenziswa izakhi ezibalulekile zeToyota Mirai—ubuchwepheshe obufakazele izinga layo cishe eminyakeni eyishumi yokukhiqizwa kwezentengiselwano kusukela iToyota yethula i-hydrogen fuel cell sedan ekhiqizwa ngobuningi ngo-2015.
I-fuel cell Hilux inebanga elilindelekile lokushayela elifika ku-600 km—ngaphezu kwalokho okungatholwa ngesistimu kagesi webhethri. Ngaleso sikhathi, ngenxa yesisindo esilula se-hydrogen, umthamo omkhulu wokukhokha kanye nekhono lokudonsa ungafinyelelwa uma kuqhathaniswa nezinye izindlela ezingasetshenziswa ekukhipheni i-zero.
I-Hydrogen igcinwa emathangeni amathathu kaphethiloli anengcindezi ephezulu, ngalinye liqukethe u-2.6 kg ngenani eliphelele lesistimu engu-7.8 kg. Amathangi afakwe ngaphakathi kwe-ladder frame chassis.
I-polymer electrolyte fuel cell stack iqukethe amaseli angu-330 futhi ifakwe ngaphezu kwe-ekseli yangaphambili. I-fuel cell i-Hilux idonsa ngamasondo angemuva nge-emotor kwi-axle yangemuva ekhahlela amandla angu-134 kW (182 DIN hp) kanye ne-torque engu-300 N·m.
Ibhethri eyingxube ye-Lithium-ion, egcina ugesi okhiqizwe ebhodini yi-fuel cell, ibekwe endaweni yokulayisha engemuva, ngaphezu kwamathangi e-hydrogen. Lokhu kugwema noma yikuphi ukulahleka kwesikhala sekhabethe.
Uhlolojikelele lwephrojekthi. Kuqala ngocwaningo lokuthi kungenzeka yini ekuqaleni kuka-2022 ukuze kuboniswe izinzuzo ze-hydrogen ngemoto eyisibonelo esimele, iphrojekthi ye-hydrogen fuel cell Hilux isiqhubekele phambili ngejubane layo ngasesigabeni sayo sokuphetha.
Ucwaningo lokuthi kungenzeka yini, olwenziwa yi-TMUK kanye ne-TME, lunikeze amandla uxhaso olwalandela oluvela kuHulumeni wase-UK nge-Advanced Propulsion Centre, inhlangano engenzi nzuzo esekela ukuthuthukiswa kobuchwepheshe obuhlanzekile nemiqondo emisha yokuhamba.
Uhlelo lokuklama nokuthuthukisa lwaqala ngoJulayi 2022 lwaya kuJanuwari 2023, kanye nozakwethu bekhonsoriyumu uRicardo, ETL, D2H Advanced Technologies, Thatcham Research kanye nokwesekwa okwengeziwe okuvela kwaToyota Motor Corporation.
Ukukhiqizwa kwezingxenye, okuhlanganisa ukushiselwa kohlaka lwe-chassis, kwenzeka phakathi kukaFebhuwari noMeyi 2023, ngaphambi kokwakhiwa kwesibonelo, okulandela imigomo ye-Toyota Production System endaweni ezinikele ngaphakathi kwesikhungo se-TMUK. U-Ricardo wasekela amalungiselelo okwakhiwa kwe-prototype, ukwenza imisebenzi yokuklama nokuthuthukisa kanye nokuqinisekisa inqubo ephelele yokukhiqiza ngokuhambisana namaqembu e-TMUK.
Ukwakhiwa kwe-prototype kwenzeka phakathi kukaJuni noJulayi 2023 kanti imoto yokuqala yaqedwa emasontweni amathathu nje. Amanye ama-prototypes ayisishiyagalolunye ahlanganiswa ngaphambi kwesigaba sokuhlolwa okuphelele kusukela ngoJulayi kuya kuZibandlela wonyaka odlule, okuhlanganisa ne-test rig kanye nokuhlolwa kwethrekhi.
Lezo zibonelo eziyishumi manje sezihlolwa endaweni ehambisana nokubandakanya amakhasimende, okuzophetha isigaba sokugcina salolu cwaningo kanye nephrojekthi yokubonisa ye-fuel cell Hilux.
