Toyota is testing a hydrogen fuel cell-powered pickup and an SUV that burns the gas in an effort to develop alternatives to battery powered electric vehicles.
The Japanese automaker sees a bright future for the fuel as an alternative to battery power in the future zero emissions automotive world and is developing vehicles with it on several fronts.
Along with the fuel cell-powered semi trucks it is currently testing in California, it also offers the Mirai in the state, which is the only one with anything resembling a public refueling network. A fuel cell combines stored hydrogen with atmospheric oxygen to generate electricity through a chemical reaction. The system is lighter and can be refueled much quicker than a battery pack.Toyota's U.K. operation has now swapped the Mirai's 182 hp powertrain into a pickup for evaluation. It is using a Hilux, which is a truck available outside the U.S. that is similar in size to the Tacoma.
The fuel cell is mounted under the hood and three hydrogen tanks below the cabin, since a driveshaft is no longer needed. A single electric motor drives the rear wheels.Toyota is also exploring the simple burning of hydrogen in an internal combustion engine, which emits water vapor instead of carbon dioxide.It has converted the 268 hp 1.
