据能源经济4月20日消息称，日本汽车制造商丰田已经与南非燃料巨头萨索合作开发绿色氢动力汽车生态系统。
两家公司在本周由EE商业智能公司和英国驻南非高级委员会组织的名为“第二届南非可再生氢和绿色能源网络研讨会”的活动上宣布了这一计划。
原型车目前正在日本开发中，丰田南非汽车公司（TSAM）已开始与其母公司进行谈判，以在其面市后立即将其进口到南非。
沿途有多个加油站的萨索将负责为该示范项目安装一个加氢站。
合作伙伴表示，该项目成功的关键将是氢动力价值链中的其他公司和利益相关者的参与。
萨索总裁兼首席执行官Fleetwood Grobler说：“随着时间的推移，我们与丰田的合作伙伴关系将包括其他合作伙伴，旨在为氢动力建立一个可持续的端到端基础设施，最初的重点是试行这一概念。”
TSAM总裁兼首席执行官Andrew Kirby表示，合作伙伴关系也将为其他公司参与氢动力价值链创造环境，从而为南非经济做出可持续贡献。
Kirby说：“我们对与萨索的合作感到兴奋，我们希望这将有助于扩大对充电站和燃料本身等关键基础设施的投资。”

Toyota partners with S African fuel giant Sasol to pioneer hydrogen-powered mobility
Japanese automotive manufacturer Toyota has partnered with South African fuel giant Sasol to develop a green hydrogen-powered mobility ecosystem.
The two companies announced the plan at an event this week organised by EE Business Intelligence and the British High Commission to South Africa, titled '2nd Renewable Hydrogen and Green Powerfuels Webinar for South Africa'.
A prototype is currently under development in Japan, with Toyota South Africa Motors (TSAM) having started negotiations with its mother company to import Sasol, which has a number of filling stations along the route, will be responsible for the installation of a hydrogen refuelling station for the demonstration project.
The partners said that key to the success of the project would be the involvement of other companies and stakeholders along the hydrogen mobility value chain.
"Our partnership with Toyota, which will include other partners over time, aims to build a sustainable end-to-end infrastructure for hydrogen mobility, initially focused Andrew Kirby, President and CEO of TSAM, said the partnership would also create the environment for others to get involved in the hydrogen mobility value chain, thereby making a sustainable contribution to the South African economy.
"We are excited about the partnership with Sasol, which we hope will assist in scaling up investment in critical infrastructure such as charging stations and the fuel itself," said Kirby.
