Toyota Donates Electric Cars To American Red Cross L.A. Region
Toyota has donated five hydrogen-fueled electric vehicles to the American Red Cross Los Angeles Region in part of a new service initiative to promote climate change prevention.
DriveH2 is a new initiative by Energy Independence Now, a nonprofit that promotes the benefits of hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles. The vehicles donated by the initiative will service the Red Cross’s blood services and disaster fleet that respond and provide shelter and resources to affected communities.
The fleet also helps to transport blood between collection drives and the health providers. In the past year, L.A. Region Red Crossers drove more than 104,500 miles.
