Back in 2017, Toyota announced Project Portal, which brings its zero-emission hydrogen fuel-cell tech to commercial trucks. Now, the automaker's first fuel-cell electric truck is ready to haul cargo, as the automaker has unveiled the latest version of its hydrogen fuel-cell semi-truck jointly developed with truck manufacturer Kenworth. It's the first of ten planned zero-emissions trucks that will start transporting cargo across the Los Angeles basin and to various inland cities starting in Q4 2019.



In the first phase, the trucks will haul goods from the LA and Long Beach ports throughout the LA area, the Inland Empire, the Port of Hueneme, and eventually to Merced. The trucks will be operated by Toyota Logistics Services, United Parcel Services, Total Transportation Services Inc. and Southern Counties Express.
