Toyota Doubles Down on Hydrogen akihabaranews.com

Akihabara News (Tokyo) — Toyota Motor Company has unveiled its second-generation Mirai, representing the firm’s renewed commitment to hydrogen-powered vehicles at a time when most others believe that electric vehicles are the wave of the future.
The prototype zero-emission Mirai fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) will be previewed at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show with the expectation that it will become publicly available sometime in late 2020.
The second-generation Mirai features a fully-redesigned fuel cell system, including its fuel cell stack, that Toyota says will delivers substantially improved performance over the current model, including a 30% increase in driving range.
Nevertheless, FCEVs do have shorter refueling times and longer driving ranges than the current generation of electric vehicles.
“We hope that with the new Mirai we will be a leader in helping to realize a hydrogen energy society,” comments Toyota.
