Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) has inked a strategic MoU with Bengaluru-based Ohmium International to co-develop scalable Green Hydrogen-based integrated power solutions in India. The move underscores Toyota’s commitment to carbon neutrality and supports India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission, aiming for energy independence by 2047 and net-zero emissions by 2070.
The collaboration will focus on developing microgrid solutions powered by Ohmium’s PEM electrolyzers and Toyota’s fuel cell modules, targeting use-cases like data centers and remote industrial zones. This marks a shift “beyond mobility” as Toyota expands hydrogen use in stationary applications. The initiative reflects the spirit of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ through Make-in-India innovations.
Industry leaders and ministers, including Nitin Gadkari and Shripad Yesso Naik, lauded the partnership for its alignment with India’s clean energy goals. TKM has already taken pioneering steps in this space, including FCEV pilots, collaborations with Kerala and Ashok Leyland, and the unveiling of flex-fuel hybrid vehicles. The move opens new avenues for clean energy investment in logistics, warehousing, and transport infrastructure.
