In a pretty surprising move, Toyota is opening its patent portfolio related to fuel cell vehicles. This is a bold step by Toyota, and one which could be critical in jump-starting the viable of mass fuel cell cars. Any takers out there?
Toyota chose the bully pulpit of the 2015 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas to announce that they are making thousands of patents relating to hydrogen fuel cells available on a royalty-free basis.
