Toyota has been at the

forefront of cleaner

driving vehicles - eight

of their cars and SUVs

are hybrids. Come

2015, the company

that brought you the

Prius will be introducing

the Toyota Fuel Cell

Vehicle (FCV).

On the next few pages

we’ll take a closer look

at the technology of

this new car.

Back in 1992, Toyota

began to develop fuel

cell electric vehicles and

launched the Prius in

Japan by 1996. The Prius

was groundbreaking – by

the year 2000, it helped

reduce 340,000 tons of

CO2 in the air.

Almost 20 years after

Toyota began developing

fuel cell cars, we have a

car that doesn’t emit any

CO2 – in fact the only

thing it emits is natural

water vapor.

This new technology utilizes the

same driving systems that have

been running hybrids, but

there is one big exception –

there is no gas tank. Instead,

Toyota has placed a fuel

stack, which combines

hydrogen and oxygen to

create the electrics that

powers the vehicle.

A hydrogen fuel source is a cleaner and renewable

source. This type of fuel can be produced through a

variety of ways such as solar and wind power.

Safety is paramount, and hydrogen has

a lot of positives, including that it is:

• Less flammable than gasoline

• Lighter than air • Non-toxic

Toyota has put their carbon fiber

hydrogen tanks through the ringer to

ensure that they are durable, including

being shot with high caliber bullets in

crash tests.

The new vehicle will

have an approximate

range of 300 miles.

When refueling, the FCV

will be comparable to

gasoline engines –

taking about 3 minutes

to get a full tank.

who steps on the lot.

Summary

• Toyota has long been at the forefront of cleaner,

more environmentally-friendly vehicles. In 2015, they

are scheduled to release their first Fuel Cell Vehicle.
