TOYOTA pushes the boundaries of sustainability with ENERGY OBSERVER, a revolutionary fuel-cell-powered boat that demonstrates the adaptability of Toyota's HYDROGEN FUEL-CELL TECHNOLOGY.

DOCKING IN CAPE TOWN THIS JUNE, the former racing catamaran-turned-ship of the future, Energy Observer, has made waves on its seven-year odyssey around the world as the first energy-autonomous hydrogen vessel. Toyota, the official partner of Energy Observer and an avid supporter of the project from the start, specially developed a fuel-cell system for this maritime application.

Energy Observer, an electrically propelled vessel, uses a mix of renewable energies and an onboard system that produces carbon-free hydrogen from seawater. Its operators are on a mission to meet people in 50 countries and 101 ports during their voyage, with the aim to prove that a cleaner world is not only possible, but that the innovations can open doors to new economic expansion. Their activities also demonstrate and share potential solutions to champion an ecological and energy transition - a challenge facing South Africa in particular.
