Rehlko Signs Exclusive Agreement with Toyota to Supply Fuel Cell Modules
The agreement pairs Rehlko's longstanding track record of delivering innovative energy solutions that improve life and provide independence, agility and security to mission-critical infrastructure, facilities and residences with Toyota's proven fuel cell technology.
"Toyota is excited to work with Rehlko on helping to build strong energy solutions using our proven, scalable fuel cell technology," said Thibaut de Barros Conti, general manager, Toyota Hydrogen Solutions. "Integrating Rehlko's systems with Toyota's fuel cell technology has the potential to yield cleaner, reliable and more sustainable energy that can scale based on the needs of customers and society and enable smart, energy-independent mobility for all."
Interest in alternative fuels, like hydrogen, has surged significantly for stationary applications, including both backup and primary uses. For operators especially focused on solutions that provide zero emissions at the point of use, Rehlko plans to integrate Toyota's fuel cell technology, which can be designed and manufactured to the same operational standards as conventional generators.
The fuel cell-based generation systems can be used to power facilities, such as data centers, warehouses and off-grid networks, as well as to help protect against weather conditions and grid overload – all while producing local emissions that consist of water and air.
"The 1MW fuel cell generator represents a significant step forward in energy resilience for mission-critical customers. It delivers the same reliability, but helps customers meet their resilience goals by cutting local emissions to zero," says Charles Hunsucker, President, Power Systems at Rehlko. "This cutting-edge technology is ready for orders today."
Rehlko and Toyota's first collaboration was to develop and install a 100kW hydrogen fuel cell power generation system to reinforce and back up the electrical infrastructure and secondary power generation at Klickitat Valley Health, a hospital in rural Washington State. Building on the success of this project, Rehlko and Toyota have developed and engineered a commercialized 1MW system to meet the demand for 1MW or more, with Rehlko developing the overall system and Toyota supplying fuel cell technology.
Toyota's research and development with hydrogen fuel cell technology spans more than 30 years, from creating the Toyota Mirai, one of the world's first mass-market passenger fuel cell electric vehicles, to scaling fuel cell technology for other applications. Toyota has put the technology through its paces from development and testing in conditions colder than -20° Fahrenheit to nearly 150° in Death Valley. Toyota maintains an engineering, product planning and business operations headquarters – NA H2HQ – in Southern California and fuel cell kit assembly in Georgetown, Kentucky.

Unlocking Oncology Pipelines with Next-Gen AI and Functional Data, Upcoming Webinar Hosted by Xtalks
In this free webinar, learn how to harness integrated functional multi-omics to enhance translational confidence and de-risk early-stage drug development for oncology programs. The featured speaker will discuss how to leverage key applications of AI and machine learning for extracting novel, actionable insights from complex multi-omic tumor datasets. Attendees will learn pragmatic, strategic approaches to integrate multi-omic and AI approaches into their own R&D pipelines for enhanced target identification and validation. The featured speaker will discuss the critical role of functional multi-omic data in overcoming current bottlenecks in oncology drug target discovery and development. TORONTO, Aug. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- How can functional multi-omic tumor data enable AI-driven target discovery and translational confidence? For pharma R&D and data science leaders, the demand for precise translational decisions has never been higher. However, the datasets currently available frequently fall short; they're fragmented, lack the necessary depth or don't accurately reflect real patient biology. This fundamental shortage of integrated, functional and clinically relevant data creates a significant bottleneck, impacting everything from the efficacy of internal AI models to the reliability of biomarker hypotheses. In this case-driven webinar, the featured speaker shares how a multi-disciplinary team harnessed a deeply profiled, functionalized tumor dataset to uncover and validate a novel oncology target: Vacuolar Protein Sorting–associated protein 4 (VPS4A/B). The discovery process began with a gene knockdown screen performed in 3D ex vivo cultures derived from clinically annotated patient-derived xenograft (PDX) tumors. Functional outcomes were integrated with deep transcriptomic data to train a machine learning model that accurately predicted VPS4 sensitivity. This approach led to the identification of CHAMP-002, a chemotype that triggered potent immunogenic responses and showed efficacy across multiple tumor types, including in combination with PD-1 blockade. This webinar will outline a framework for integrating deep tumor data into translational workflows that incorporate: AI/ML-ready datasets that are exportable, structured and grounded in fundamental tumor biology Integrated multi-modal layers, clinical history, omics, phenotypic data and drug response, all within a single, coherent system Data that maps to real-world patient cohorts, not abstract in vitro models Translational alignment for internal decision-making, target selection, biomarker validation and early development strategy Teams struggling with limitations with public datasets, failed to reproduce internal models or are looking to advance precision oncology initiatives, this webinar offers a window into how functionalized tumor data can drive more innovative R&D. Register for this webinar to learn how functional multi-omic data and AI integration can accelerate cancer target discovery. Join Michael Ritchie, PhD, MBA, Chief Commercial Officer, Champions Oncology, for the live webinar on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, at 11am EDT (4pm BST/UK).

South Africa, Morocco lead Africa's vehicle production, according to latest data
South Africa and Morocco remain Africa's top vehicle producers, according to the International Organisation of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers. South Africa and Morocco remain the leading automotive producers in Africa, with 599,755 and 559,645 vehicles produced, respectively, in 2024. South Africa's production saw a 5% year-on-year decline, ranking it 20th globally, while Morocco achieved a 5% increase, ranking 23rd worldwide. U.S. tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump have impacted South Africa's exports, jeopardising its trade position under the African Growth and Opportunity Act. South Africa and Morocco remain Africa's top vehicle producers, according to the International Organisation of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers. South Africa manufactured 599,755 vehicles in 2024, a 5% year-on-year decline that placed it 20th worldwide. The figure falls short of the 784,509-unit target set under the South African Automotive Masterplan 2035. Morocco, by contrast, produced 559,645 vehicles, a 5% increase that ranked it 23rd globally. Emerging markets are strengthening their position as automotive hubs, supported by rising incomes, regional trade deals, and supply chain shifts away from higher-cost countries. In South Africa, for instance, seven global automakers, including Volkswagen, Toyota, and Mercedes-Benz, operate local plants. But the industry faces headwinds from surging imports, particularly from China, as well as sluggish domestic sales. Japanese manufacturers are expanding, with Isuzu setting a target to lift its African production share to 45%, up from around 23% today. Trade Minister Parks Tau said low demand for locally assembled cars and weak local content levels have led to 12 plant closures and more than 4,000 job losses in the past two years. Exports are also under strain. Shipments to the United States fell sharply in April and May 2025 after President Donald Trump imposed steep import tariffs, eroding the duty-free access previously granted under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA). The U.S. has historically been South Africa's second-largest trading partner and a key destination for its vehicles. Global picture Global vehicle production reached 92 million units in 2024, led by China, the United States, and Japan. China built over 31 million vehicles, more than the U.S. and Japan combined, supported by strong domestic demand, rapid electric vehicle adoption, and growing exports. Passenger cars made up the bulk of China's production, at 27.5 million units. The U.S. leaned heavily toward commercial vehicles, producing 9.1 million units versus 1.4 million passenger cars, while emerging markets such as India, Mexico, and Brazil also climbed the global rankings. Together, China, the U.S., and Japan accounted for 54% of total output.
