The Tokyo metropolitan government Tuesday announced a plan to increase the number of hydrogen stations for fuel cell vehicles in Tokyo to 35 by the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and to 80 by 2025.
 
"We would like to make a (hydrogen utilization) model first in Tokyo in the run-up to nationwide diffusion," Tokyo Gov. Yoichi Masuzoe said at a meeting of the metropolitan government.
 
The metropolitan and central governments will provide subsidies covering 400 million yen of some 500 million yen required for building each hydrogen station.
