The company has ramped up these initiatives as Japan and New Zealand commemorate 70 years of bilateral relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To mark the momentous milestone, signaling New Zealand\u2019s openness to business and encouraging stronger cooperation between the two countries, N.Z. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was recently on a trade mission to Japan, the first since the start of the pandemic. Toyota New Zealand was part of this trade mission; specifically, to advance its efforts towards carbon neutrality by 2050 through showcasing its hydrogen technology advancement through its new mobility initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPM Ardern\u2019s passion is to restart the economy; but, equally, the New Zealand government is very committed to addressing the climate crisis. Our role as part of the trade delegation group was to promote and advance the opportunities around green hydrogen,\u201d shared Neeraj Lala, CEO of Toyota New Zealand. \u201cWe have a passion to support the government and collaborate \u2014 private with public sectors \u2014 with its push for green hydrogen as a renewable energy asset. There\u2019s an opportunity to really develop a hydrogen economy, both in the domestic and export markets,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In alignment with these goals, Toyota N.Z. has launched its hydrogen-powered Car Share scheme. Four hydrogen-powered Toyota Mirai cars comprise the initial fleet for eight N.Z. companies, in this first-ever commercial application of hydrogen fuel cell technology in the country and will be refueled by green hydrogen supplied by Obayashi Corp. Additionally, in partnership with Emirates Team New Zealand and trading house Mitsui, Toyota N.Z. has likewise launched the world\u2019s first hydrogen-powered chase boat for the 37th America\u2019s Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are broadening our focus from just selling cars to becoming a responsible corporate citizen of New Zealand,\u201d Lala noted. To this end, the company has rolled out the \u201cCitizenship Award,\u201d which focuses on the social impact that Toyota\u2019s stores have in their communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about creating value and social impact within your community; whether you\u2019re promoting sustainability or mobility for all within the local community.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
