£11 million in funding has been approved for a hydrogen-powered Toyota Hilux variant, as part of the government's push for zero-emissions vehicles:

A hydrogen-powered Toyota Hilux prototype will be built in Derbyshire as part of a £70 million government drive to find alternative zero-emission vehicles for isolated parts of the UK.

Initial prototypes will be built at the company’s vehicle plant in Burnaston during 2023 – which also produces the Toyota Corolla – with testing to follow soon after. If successful, a small series production will begin. In total the programme has received £11.3 million from the pot, which will fund the project for three years, and support more than 250 jobs across the UK over the next decade. It joins other projects including a farm waste-powered tractor and hydrogen-powered HGV cabs.
