Toyota sets up study of hydrogen and green technologies in China

Beijing — Japan’s Toyota is setting up a research institute in Beijing in partnership with Tsinghua University to study car technology using hydrogen power and other green technologies that could ease environmental problems in China.

The Tsinghua-Toyota Joint Research Institute will conduct research into cars and new technology to solve environmental problems in China, including reducing traffic accidents, Toyota said. The move dovetails with Toyota’s announcement in April that it would offer carmakers and suppliers around the world free access to nearly 24,000 patents for electric vehicle technologies.
