TOYOTA, LYFT OFFER HYDROGEN-POWERED VEHICLES FOR USE

Toyota Motor Corp and Lyft Inc said Wednesday they have a partnership to provide an initially limited number of ride-hail drivers in Vancouver, with access to hydrogen-powered Mirai sedans. The partnership is part of Lyft’s efforts to switch every vehicle on its platform to zero emissions by 2030. For Toyota, the tieup offers the opportunity to introduce consumers to vehicles powered by hydrogen. “everybody who sits in the back seat of (a Mirai) is going to be able to learn a little bit more about hydrogen technology. There’s no way that we could do that on our own,” said Stephen beatty, Toyota Canada’s vice president, corporate.
