The fuel cell vehicle (FCV) is the nearest thing yet to an "ultimate eco-car" that offers solutions to energy and emissions issues.
FCVs
are powered by fuel cells, which generate electricity from hydrogen,
which is not only environmentally friendly and highly energy-efficient,
but can also be produced using a variety of readily available raw
materials. Thanks to these characteristics, fuel cell vehicles are ideal
for achieving sustainable mobility. Therefore, Toyota is striving to
make this vehicle technology widely available as soon as possible.

Successful startup: -30° Celsius

Extended cruising range: 830km (JC08 mode) without refueling
At a steady cruising speed, the motor is powered by
energy from the fuel cell. When more power is needed, for example during
sudden acceleration, the battery supplements the fuel cell’s output.
Conversely, at low speeds when less power is required, the vehicle runs
on battery power alone. During deceleration the motor functions as an
electric generator to capture braking energy, which is stored in the
battery.
