ELECTRIC / HYDROGEN ELECTRIC
We’re helping drive future mobility by developing innovations in hydrogen fuel cell technology.
Refuelling a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle can take as little as five minutes (there is only one Toyota owned hydrogen refueller in Altona, Victoria.)
The only tailpipe emissions produced by a hydrogen fuel cell is water vapour.
Using hybrid electric regenerative technology, electricity can be harnessed when braking.
HOW IT WORKS
A fuel cell uses the chemical energy of hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity without harmful tailpipe emissions.
For hydrogen to be turned into energy it needs oxygen to complete the reaction. The Mirai has a large front grille that takes in oxygen from the atmosphere.
Hydrogen is stored in the Mirai’s safe, durable and purpose-built tanks before being released into the fuel cell system.
In the fuel cell system, hydrogen and oxygen from the air combine in a chemical reaction that creates electricity to power the electric motor.
After the chemical reaction creates electricity, the only tailpipe emissions are water vapour and oxygen.
The Mirai’s chassis is designed to protect components in a collision and help prevent any hydrogen leaks occurring. It’s also equipped with safety sensors to detect any potential leaks in an instance where they may occur.
Hydrogen is lightweight with a high energy density, which means the range of hydrogen vehicles can be comparable to those that use carbon-based fuels like petrol. The Hydrogen Electric Toyota Mirai has a range of 650km
The Mirai Hydrogen FCEV (Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle) delivers on its promises of efficient mobility. The Toyota Mirai is currently only available in limited numbers for business fleet to lease
The Toyota Mirai is currently only available in limited numbers for business fleet to lease. There is only one Toyota owned hydrogen refueller in Altona, Victoria.
There is currently one Toyota-owned refuelling station in Altona, Victoria. We’re dedicated to a future with improved mobility for all.
We're working towards reducing vehicle CO2 tailpipe emissions through the development of alternative powertrains.
