The Clean Energy Partnership (CEP) has just added to its members with Toyota being the first international auto manufacturer to join.

Responsible for the development of sustainable mobility, the partnership is mainly receiving funding and support from Germany.

The German government has invested around €2 billion (£1.8 billion) in the CEP initiative, which is committed to developing hydrogen fuel cell and electric vehicle technologies.

By 2011, Toyota will introduce five of its new hydrogen fuel cell vehicles to the German car market.

The FCHV-adv models will be introduced as part of the third stage of the CEP strategy.

Between 2011 and 2016, the partnership will be outlining the technical, political and organisational or logistical goals of meeting a 2016 target for the commercial hydrogen-powered vehicles market being prepared.

Hydrogen and CO2-free filling stations are being set-up by other CEP partners to be installed at key locations between Berlin and Hamburg.
