Japan has always been a step ahead in terms of technology and development, so sustainable mobility is no exception. Precisely, in Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, the village hosting delegations from different participating countries operates with hydrogen as the main power source in multiple aspects.

The world’ top sporting event could not take place last year as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, which is why the event was delayed until 2021, when it will finally showcase the most outstanding athletes in different disciplines, and all of them will be mobilized and properly attended by hydrogen technology.

Olympic Village has been created as an example from Tokyo to the world, in order to promote hydrogen utilities in several aspects beyond sustainable mobility. The village serves as a miniature city where this green fuel travels through pipes to fulfill different functions, such as heating water at cafeterias, training facilities and bedrooms. In addition, the Olympic flame will also be fueled by hydrogen.

Sustainable Mobility in Tokyo 2020

Toyota, as Olympic sponsor and partner, has provided 500 Toyota Mirai vehicles for the event to transport Olympic Games staff and security officials. Regarding athletes’ transportation, hydrogen is already present through 100 buses.

Each bus has 10 tanks to store up to 600 liters of hydrogen. The transportation of people not related to athletes is also “green ” through electric vehicles such as the APM or the e-Palette, vehicles fulfilling single-person mobility objectives.

For Japan, the Olympic Games represent an ideal advertising and development window for hydrogen as a green fuel for the near future, so much that its long-term goals include putting around 800,000 hydrogen-powered vehicles on Japanese roads by 2030.

“The Olympic Games are a great opportunity to demonstrate technologies that may help tackle today’s challenges, such as climate change. The Tokyo 2020 hydrogen exhibition is just one example of how these Games will contribute to this goal,” said Marie Sallois, head of corporate and sustainable development at the International Olympic Committee.
