日本の自動車メーカーが再び水素に賭ける理由：今度はAIの効率化

For years, everyone agreed that battery electric vehicles (BEVs) were essential for a zero-emission future. Japan's car giants, like Toyota, Honda, and Kawasaki, kept promoting hydrogen. They stayed focused despite the surrounding noise. Japanese engineers improved fuel cell stacks. They gained expertise quietly, even as BEVs advanced. New technology, strategic needs, and gained experience are driving a strong comeback. Japanese carmakers are betting big on hydrogen once more, but this time, it’s different. This time, they are armed with an unprecedented ally: Artificial Intelligence. This renewed commitment isn't nostalgia; it's a calculated, AI-optimized strategy for sustainable leadership. The Enduring Allure of Hydrogen The appeal of hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) is still strong. This is especially true in areas where battery power has clear limits. The main benefit is…
