Kenworth Truck Company and Toyota Motor North America are collaborating to develop ten zero-emission Kenworth T680 trucks powered by Toyota hydrogen fuel cell electric powertrains.
The collaboration is part of a $41m Zero and Near-Zero Emissions Freight Facilities (ZANZEFF) grant awarded by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). The Port of Los Angeles is the prime applicant.
