Toyota has jumped aboard the Clean Energy Partnership bandwagon and will help promote low emission and zero emission vehicles in Europe. Five FCHV advanced fuel cell vehicles based on the Highlander will be provided by Toyota for the CEP test fleet in Berlin and Hamburg in Germany.

CEP is currently working on increasing supply of hydrogen from renewable sources by 50 percent over the coming years.
