Tacoma H2 Overlander - Toyota's first hydrogen "clean fuel" pickup

Recently, Toyota introduced a new hydrogen fuel cell concept pickup truck called the Tacoma H2 Overlander.

The Toyota Tacoma H2 Overlander pickup truck is considered one of the Japanese automaker's boldest projects, applying hydrogen technology for the first time to a mid-size off-road vehicle, instead of urban sedans or SUVs.

The hydrogen-powered Tacoma H2 Overlander was developed in record time, just a few months, thanks to close coordination between Toyota Racing Development (TRD) in California and North Carolina, and Toyota North America R&D.

The exterior of the vehicle features a series of specialized upgrades for outdoor activities such as: metal underbody panels, front/rear rescue hooks, high-capacity winch, auxiliary LED lights and white-blue decals inspired by Toyota's previous H2 concept models. The vehicle has front brakes borrowed from the Toyota Tundra, while 17-inch wheels with 35-inch off-road tires enhance the ability to overcome harsh terrain.

At the rear of the vehicle, Toyota has installed a pop-up tent and a three-way opening trunk, turning the Tacoma H2 into a true “mobile home” for long camping trips. The rear trunk door is designed in a “roboformed” form, ensuring both rigidity and a large spare tire for added practicality.

The most special feature of the car is the transmission system. Toyota equips the Tacoma H2 Overlander with two electric motors for a total capacity of 547 horsepower, combined with a 24.9 kWh lithium-ion battery and a Mirai fuel cell. The system includes three high-pressure hydrogen tanks, arranged in the chassis to optimize space and safety.

This power source allows the car to operate without emitting any CO₂, only producing purified water as a by-product. Toyota has even developed a proprietary wastewater recovery system, allowing users to use this water for car washing, bathing or outdoor activities.

In addition, the Tacoma H2 can also power a small home off the grid or charge two other electric vehicles simultaneously. Despite the switch to a new powertrain, the Tacoma H2 Overlander still maintains its inherent off-road spirit.

The Tacoma H2 Overlander pickup truck is still equipped with a front limited-slip differential lock, rear electronic differential lock, TRD billet long-travel suspension system and Fox 2.5 Performance Elite Series shock absorbers.
