Fuel Cells Job Description

Team/division description

Advanced Technology Department in Toyota Motor Europe is responsible for the research and development of new materials, production, equipment and analytical technologies for automotive Proton Exchange Membrane fuel cells and Li-ion batteries.

In particular, fuel cells generate electricity by an electrochemical reaction in which oxygen and a hydrogen-rich fuel combine to form water.
