TOYOTA MOTOR NORTH AMERICA, INC.

This award is bestowed upon Toyota Mirai for its pioneering role and undeniable leadership in decarbonising terrestrial transport through the progressive development and mass deployment of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCEVs). The Mirai represents the vanguard of an energy transition that crucially does not rely on electric batteries, but rather on the efficient conversion of hydrogen into electricity, with the sole tailpipe emission being benign water vapour.

Toyota has demonstrated unwavering commitment to this advanced technology by meticulously producing a high-quality, reliable, and inherently safe vehicle. The Mirai consistently offers a considerable driving range and exceptionally quick refuelling times, directly addressing key barriers that typically impede the broader mass adoption of sustainable vehicle technologies.

Its dedicated efforts in the scalable implementation of the Mirai, alongside the proactive promotion and support of green hydrogen refuelling infrastructure, profoundly validate Toyota’s long-term vision for truly sustainable mobility. This recognition celebrates Toyota’s boldness in pursuing a directly zero-emission solution, its substantial contribution to technological innovation, and its remarkable ability to inspire the global automotive industry to diversify pathways towards a comprehensively decarbonised economy, thereby demonstrating that fuel cells constitute a viable and high-performance alternative.
