Three of the world’s leading automotive manufacturers have come together to establish a new forum that will promote an accelerated hydrogen transport industry throughout Australia.
BMW, Hyundai and Toyota have joined forces to start the Hydrogen Transport Forum (ITF), a new coalition dedicated to deploying hydrogen mobility solutions in Australia.
The collaborative platform will allow the local industry to identify strategic opportunities, align fleet and infrastructure and advocate for supporting government policies. It’ll complement existing industry bodies and address a critical gap in Australia’s hydrogen ecosystem.
The Forum is expected to welcome members from the hydrogen passenger car, truck and bus sectors.
“The HTF represents a proactive step toward industry-wide coordination and a genuine commitment to building the hydrogen refuelling and vehicle ecosystem needed to support Australia’s transport transition,” a joint spokesperson for the founding participants says.
The HTF will specifically focus on accelerating infrastructure rollout by identifying clusters of fleet demand, consolidating industry momentum, advocating for targeted funding and educating stakeholders about the role hydrogen transport can play in a low-emissions future.
The HTF is designed to mirror H2Accelerate in Europe and was soft launched at the 2025 Brisbane Truck Show.
