TOYOTA MIRAI: At The Forefront Of Environmental Sustainability

Today’s environmental challenge and Toyota’s response

The continuing growth of the world’s population – estimated to reach 9.6 billion by 2050 – will certainly lead to a further increase in the global production of vehicles and a resulting massive consumption of fossil fuels. This will exacerbate problems such as climate change, global warming and air pollution. Two strategies are being taken to address environmental problems caused by the mass consumption of fossil fuels. One is to use less petroleum. Combining high thermal efficiency, low fuel consumption engines and a host of advanced technologies, hybrid vehicles are a textbook example of how to use less petroleum.

The second strategy is to diversify energy sources. Energy diversification is a broad field, and Toyota has been working for decades to diversify the use of automobile fuels and powertrains. Each alternative fuel has its characteristics, and Toyota is confident that hydrogen is one of the technologies that brings the promise of a cleaner future. Hydrogen is an environmentally friendly energy vector that can be produced from a variety of raw materials including solar and wind power, biofuel, and natural gas. The company is therefore investing heavily in Fuel Cell Vehicles powered by hydrogen.

How can a Fuel Cell Vehicle contribute to a better environment?

A Fuel Cell Vehicle runs on hydrogen instead of gasoline or diesel. To be more specific, it runs on a motor powered by electricity generated by a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen in a fuel cell. The only by-product of a Fuel Cell Vehicle in operation is water vapour. It does not emit any harmful substances such as CO 2 (a major cause of global warming), or SO 2 and NOx (causes of atmospheric pollution). In addition to producing zero emissions when driven, Fuel Cell Vehicles are also highly practical. They have an ample cruising range and can be refuelled very quickly. Because of their simultaneous achievement of zero emissions and high practicality, Toyota positions Fuel Cell Vehicles as the ideal eco-cars.
