FUEL CELL VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY

FCVs are powered by fuel cells, which generate electricity from hydrogen, which is environmentally friendly and highly energy- efficient, and also can be produced using a variety of readily available raw materials. These characteristics are ideal for achieving sustainable mobility.
Toyota Company is striving to make this technology available as soon as possible.

 TOYOTA FUEL CELL VEHICLE CONCEPT

The Toyota Company plans to launch the idea of Fuel Cell Vehicle somewhere 2015 as an innovator in the evolution of the hydrogen-powered vehicles.
The vehicle's exterior has two key characteristics of a fuel cell vehicle; the changing of air into water as the system produces electricity, and the powerful acceleration enabled by the electric drive motor. The front view has air intakes  while the side view conveys the air- to- water transformation with its flowing- liquid door profile and water- motif fuel cap. The rear view shows a catamaran's stern and the flow of water behind.
The vehicle can cover at least 500km and is refuelled as low as three minutes. It has power output density of 3kW/L and an output of at least 100kW. It is furnished with Toyota's high efficiency boost converter, this increase in voltage has enabled the reduction in size and the number of fuel cells, leading to a smaller system offering enhanced performance at reduced cost.
