CSIRO becomes first lease customer for new Mirai fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) Partnership to help demonstrate the viability of zero emission fuel cell vehicles Toyota to offer 20 Mirais to progressive business, industry and government partners on three-year lease program
CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, has become the country’s first organisation to lease the all-new Toyota Mirai FCEV (fuel cell electric vehicle), which uses hydrogen to power the car and emits only water vapour. The vehicle will be used for testing at CSIRO’s test hydrogen refuelling facility in Victoria, currently being developed.
As part of its commitment to a sustainable future, Toyota Australia is importing 20 second-generation Mirai FCEVs to lease to progressive businesses and organisations for three years to further demonstrate the viability of hydrogen fuel cell technology.

NSW) Government published the NSW Net Zero Industry and Innovation Program (
Program) as part of the NSW Net Zero Plan Stage 1: 2020-2030, which aims to achieve a 35% reduction in emissions compared to 2005 levels. AU$750 million will be invested under the Program by 2030 to help realise that aim.
The Program has three areas of focus:
Clean Technology Innovation - supporting the development of emerging clean technologies, including hydrogen. AU$195 million has been earmarked for this area.
New Low Carbon Industry Foundations - creating the foundations for low emissions industries by building infrastructure and expanding the capability of supply chains. AU$175 million in funding has been allocated for this objective.
