Toyota Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles

An alternative powertrain for the future

Fuelling a better future with hydrogen

We’re helping drive future mobility by developing innovations in hydrogen fuel cell technology.
Quick to refuel

Refuelling a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle can take as little as five minutes (there is only one Toyota owned hydrogen refueller in Altona, Victoria.)G4.

Water vapour emissions

The only tailpipe emissions produced by a hydrogen fuel cell is water vapour.

Efficient

Using hybrid electric regenerative technology, electricity can be harnessed when braking.

How it works

How Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles work

A fuel cell uses the chemical energy of hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity without harmful tailpipe emissions.
Oxygen

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

Hydrogen is stored in the Mirai’s safe, durable and purpose-built tanks before being released into the fuel cell system.

Combined

In the fuel cell system, hydrogen and oxygen from the air combine in a chemical reaction that creates electricity to power the electric motor.

Equals energy and water

After the chemical reaction creates electricity, the only tailpipe emissions are water vapour and oxygen.

Myth #1

“Hydrogen cars are dangerous.”

Hydrogen Electric Myth 1

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.

Myth #2

“Hydrogen cars have low range.”

Hydrogen Electric Myth 2

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 650kmG11.
