The Toyota Mirai (Japanese: トヨタ・MIRAI, Hepburn: Toyota Mirai) (from mirai (未来), Japanese for 'future') is a mid-size hydrogen fuel cell vehicle (FCV) manufactured by Toyota, and is the first FCV to be mass-produced and sold commercially.
In July 2015, Toyota tested a prototype fuel cell bus on bus routes in Tokyo. The prototype was developed in cooperation with Hino Motors, on the basis of the Hino hybrid bus and the Toyota Mirai fuel cell system. [2] [3] [4] The bus was also lent to Meitetsu Bus for free, as a demonstration that fuel cell buses were practical.
One example of RFC is solid oxide regenerative fuel cell. Solid oxide fuel cell operates at high temperatures with high fuel-to-electricity conversion ratios and it is a good candidate for high temperature electrolysis. [7] Less electricity is required for electrolysis process in solid oxide regenerative fuel cells (SORFC) due to high temperature.
This is a list of fuel cell vehicles (FCV), or fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV), that use a fuel cell to power an electric drive system. For Hydrogen internal combustion engine vehicles (HICEV) see the List of hydrogen internal combustion engine vehicles .
The new hydrogen-powered car can boast of a more efficient fuel cell and longer range, but the same question of refueling won't go away. Toyota's new Mirai FCEV is better looking, with a longer range.
A fuel cell vehicle (FCV) or fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) is an electric vehicle that uses a fuel cell, sometimes in combination with a small battery or supercapacitor, to power its onboard electric motor. Fuel cells in vehicles generate electricity generally using oxygen from the air and compressed hydrogen.
A unitized regenerative fuel cell (URFC) is a fuel cell based on the proton exchange membrane which can do the electrolysis of water in regenerative mode and function in the other mode as a fuel cell recombining oxygen and hydrogen gas to produce electricity. Both modes are done with the same fuel cell stack [1]
PEM fuel cells are popular in automotive applications due to their relatively low operating temperature and their ability to start up quickly even in below-freezing conditions. [18] As of March 2019 there were 6,558 fuel cell vehicles on the road in the United States, with the Toyota Mirai being the most popular model. [19] PEM fuel cells have ...
