[38] April 2015: The Mirai was the first hydrogen fuel cell vehicle to pace a NASCAR race at the Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond, US. [citation needed]
If well optimized, slightly higher efficiencies can be achieved. The comparison with a hydrogen fuel cell is interesting. The fuel cell has a high efficiency peak at low load, while at high load the efficiency drops. The hydrogen combustion engine has a peak at high load and can achieve similar efficiency levels as a hydrogen fuel cell. [34]
BMW said the new vehicle will use Toyota's third-generation fuel-cell stack, which it expects to cost 50 percent less to make and offer 20 percent more range per kilogram of hydrogen.
