Toyota has just revealed their revolutionary new semi truck that operates entirely on hydrogen fuel cells.

Internally called “Beta”, the new big rig turns up its giant nostrils to the usual breakfast of diesel and instead opts for the most abundant element in the universe: hydrogen. On a diet of hydrogen fuel, Beta (also called Project Portal 2.0) can operate up to 300 miles before needing to refuel.

Toyota unveiled their latest creation during the Center for Automotive Research (CAR) Management Briefing Seminars in Northern Michigan. Beta improves over the previous iteration of Project Portal (called “Alpha”) by improving its range by 50% while also adding a sleeper cabin, a unique fuel cabinet, and increased cab space without increasing the wheelbase. All these improvements come at the cost of nothing more than emitting a bit more water vapor out the tailpipes.

The original Alpha test mule has already logged almost 10,000 miles in real-world testing by hauling freight from the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. It was created from the bits and pieces of two Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell cars back in 2017, making it one of the first OEM-built hydrogen big rig trucks in the world.

Alpha came with a weight capacity of 80,000 lbs thanks to a set of electric motors that produced 670 hp and 1,325 lb-ft of torque. Range was only 200 miles, which allowed for almost 4 round trips between the two ports before refueling. Beta retains all the same performance and weight capacity figures, but now has a range of 300 miles.\

“Our goal with the first truck was to see if it could be accomplished, and we did that,” said senior manager for Toyota’s North American Electrified Vehicle & Technologies Office Craig Scott. “This time we're looking at commercial viability. We want to help make a difference—a significant difference when it comes to the air quality not only in the LA area, but across the U.S. and around the globe."

There are currently 16,000 semi trucks operating between Long Beach and Los Angeles, with that number set to double by the year 2030. Replacing even a fraction of them with zero-emitting trucks like Toyota’s Project Portal can make a huge difference to urban smog that especially affects Los Angeles in the hot summer months.
