Toyota just recently introduced India's first all-hydrogen electric vehicle, the Mirai. The vehicle was released as part of a pilot initiative between the brand and the International Center for Automotive Technology (ICAT). The Mirai is one of the world's few FCEVs that operates entirely on hydrogen-generated power.
The car's second generation will be constructed at Toyota's facility in Karnataka. The vehicle was first made available in the United States last year. It has a range of 646km on a single tank and refuelling takes around 5 minutes. The pilot initiative is part of the government's effort to promote greener and cleaner fuel alternatives for the country's automobile fleet. The Mirai has a high-pressure hydrogen fuel tank and an electric motor. The powertrain essentially splits the hydrogen into water and oxygen in order to create electricity. A hydrogen fuel cell powerplant, unlike standard ICEs, emits water from the exhaust.
