Toyota has announced today that it intends to have limited commercialization of hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles by no later than 2015.

While it’s great to hear that hydrogen vehicles are on their way from Toyota, the long wait for production is likely due to the fact that hydrogen vehicles require hydrogen filling stations, and lots of them since the range of a hydrogen vehicle is shorter than a standard combustion engine.

Toyota currently holds the title for being the automaker selling the most gas-electric hybrids and is planning on leasing plug-in Prius hybrids this year, which are capable of going 10 miles on electricity alone. They also have a line of purely electric vehicles that will hit dealer lots by 2012.
