Having driven the Mirai (the same model in the video) The Mirai is one of the most advanced cars ever built, powerful enough, quiet, and zero-emission. The handling and experience was also great. Looking forward to a Hydrogen tomorrow
Toyota has a longtime partnership with the Portuguese group Salvador Caetano. So, in Europe and in Portugal, CaetanoBus H2 Citygold uses the fuel cell from a Toyota Mirai. Salvador Caetano is Toyota's importer and manufacturer in Portugal.
Japanese worked with passion and dedication- they don’t work for quantity but for quality. They produce maybe less compared to other car manufacturers but they work very smoothly with accuracy and perfectionism. Toyota is quite expensive but the quality, durability and reliability is worth the value of the car.
What is the source of hydrogen in Japan? Today, 95% of hydrogen production comes from the processing of fossil fuels - steam reformation (requiring much heat) of natural gas being currently the cheapest. Only 5% comes from electrolysis, since it's uncompetitive. It bugs me that proponents of hydrogen power always boast zero emissions, and clean water as the only effluent; but they rarely mention hydrogen production, storage, and distribution.
Amazing, awsome, fantastiko. I love this. Hey GM, FORD are you paying attention ? Look at this, super sano, super clean, highly efficient, highly technical and ...oh yeah hydrogen ! I love the Japanese people. Why are we not doing this highly innovative work ???
Because of the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources, it will be necessary to over-build the solar or wind production element. It makes a lot of sense that when supply exceeds demand, excess electricity is stored, hopefully by conversion to green hydrogen. In that way, the cost of green hydrogen should, theoretically, be very low.
Lots of very cool stuff on this bus- but a 150-200k mile fuel cell life span is absolutely laughable for a commercial vehicle. Unless lifecycle will include a very economical reman/replace strategy, it simply isn't long enough.
How can a vehicle that carries so many advanced technologies inside have uncovered wheel nuts on the outside? - They can cause severe injuries in case of an accident.
Truly Green Hydrogen ... is still in most places scarce . Otherwise Hydrogen fuel production is a long and an high energy consuming process to obtain and certainly not "environmental friendly" when sourced from current Gas-Coal generated power . Nevertheless I congratulate Toyota for developing this "Future" technology... but our Survival depends on URGENTLY reducing our carbon footprint Today .
لا أعلم لماذا توقفت تويوتا عن إنتاج الحافلات و الشاحنات و هي شركة يابانية عملاقة في مجال تصنيع السيارات و المعدات يفترض بها إنتاج كافة أنواع و أحجام الشاحنات و الحافلات و منافسة شركات التصنيع الكبرى مثل مرسيدس بنز
Who did their factory floor risk assessment?!? If you're using power tools, then you need proper PPE. That includes eye and ear protection! A comprehensive what-if analysis should reveal that if any part of the tool or the fasteners have manufacturing defects - which are not rare by any means - parts could shatter and fly about. Impact drivers are potentially high decibels. Why take the risks? Don't wait until there's an incident and incident investigation, folks. And yes, watching this video with all it's awesomeness and on that I'm focusing. I've seen too many nasty examples of unintended consequences.
