TOYOTA MIRAI

Toyota has launched an all-new hydrogen fuel-cell sedan that delivers punchy performance as well as offering the convenience and driving pleasure of a conventional car.

The ground-breaking new Toyota - called Mirai, a Japanese word meaning "future" - achieves maximum power well above 100kW from both its fuel-cell stack and its electric motor.
A four-door sedan, the Mirai has the cruising range of a conventional sedan, can be refuelled in less than five minutes and emits only water vapour when driven.

The Toyota Fuel-Cell System (TFCS), which enables the Mirai to produce its own electricity, incorporates world-first technology and several world-leading systems, including for power density and hydrogen storage density.
The system utilises the same hybrid technology developed for Toyota's hybrid synergy drive systems, replacing the petrol engine with a fuel-cell stack.
Hydrogen, stored under pressure in two tanks at 700 MegaPascals (700 bar or 10,000psi) is fed into the fuel-cell stack where it is combined with oxygen to create a chemical reaction that produces electricity to power the vehicle.
The system is more energy-efficient than internal combustion engines and emits no CO₂ or pollutants when driven.

Drivers can also expect the same level of convenience as offered by petrol-engine vehicles, with a cruising range close to 500km and a hydrogen refuelling time of about three minutes¹.
Extensive engineering development has resulted in smart solutions that have enabled Toyota to delete or reduce the size and number of system components - saving space and cost while improving or maintaining performance.

Toyota's global president Akio Toyoda said the launch of Mirai is a turning point in the automotive industry - a new age where hydrogen is used as a fuel to generate electricity.
The Mirai will go on sale in Japan next month and will be launched in Europe and the United States next year.
