Information about Toyota
An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
Already with the Prius the best selling hybrid-engine vehicle, Toyota has upped the ante with the announcement of the Mirai, and with worsening pollution seen in big countries like China (look at Beijing's sky!), conscious people will be looking at less pollutive vehicles. Am already considering a hybrid engine for my next vehicle, and with hydrogen fuel cell ones, it gives us consumers more options. Cheers! http://asia.nikkei.com/Japan-Update/...-to-the-future Toyota's Mirai gives a glimpse to the future YUMIKO OSHIMA and KEN SAKAKIBARA, Nikkei staff writers TOKYO -- Toyota Motor recently unveiled the world's first commercial fuel cell vehicle. Now comes the big wait -- for other companies to come up with some new technology of their own and for the necessary infrastructure to be put in place. At the end of the wait, Toyota hopes, the hydrogen society will bloom. The Mirai debuted in mid-December. The name means future in Japanese. The car runs on electricity generated by a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen. It emits no carbon dioxide, though it drips some water. Shortly before the car's official release, a man in his 30s gave one a test drive. "They were saying it would cost 100 million yen ($851,500) to buy a fuel cell vehicle until just a few years ago," the driver said. "So I thought [a fuel cell car] would be way beyond my reach." The Mirai does not cost 100 million yen. After a government subsidy, the price is around 5.2 million yen. "Things don't move forward if we just sit around and wait for a long time," said Mitsuhisa Kato, executive vice president of Toyota. That is why Toyota went ahead with the Mirai's release despite the lack of hydrogen filling stations. It is also why the carmaker is offering to license its fuel cell-related patents for free. It wants its rivals and other industries to join the hydrogen party. Click here to view the whole thread at www.sammyboy.com.
