It is produced by Toyota and sold under the name Mirai, which translates as future. The method of generating electricity in it is based on fuel cells. The car does not harm the environment by definition, because its exhaust is steam.
In Japan, the number of pre-orders significantly exceeds the sales plan. Therefore, Toyota decided to invest $162 million by 2015 to increase the production of these sedans. So far, it is planned to produce three times more cars - 2.1 thousand cars per year. If the market situation is favorable, it is quite possible that production will amount to 50 thousand cars per year. But it will be possible to achieve such an indicator no earlier than 2020. In the future, Toyota aims to sell every tenth car in Japan on hydrogen by 2030.
The cost of the new Mirai in the land of the rising sun is about $60.7 thousand. The price is not small, but the government subsidizes up to $17,000 for each buyer. Well, the eight-year warranty and "assistance" only add to the attractiveness of the purchase.
Recall that the Toyota Mirai is driven by a power plant with a capacity of 153 hp, the current is generated in fuel cells. The hydrogen car reaches 96 km/h in 9 seconds, with a range of up to 480 km.
The product of the Mirai power unit is water. After a thorough check in the laboratory, no chemical impurities were found in it. That is, it is absolutely safe.
