The head of Toyota's North American division, Jim Lentz (Jim Lentz) объявил, the first hydrogen production car of his company Mirai able to overcome the distance of 312 miles (about 502 km), once by filling the tank with hydrogen. Calculated in liters, this figure is as follows: 1 gallon of hydrogen (about 3.8 liters) was spent installing a hybrid car over a distance corresponding to about 67 miles (about 107 km).
This hydrogen consumption is actually important for two reasons. On the one hand, it is important for ordinary car buyers, which will probably be pleased to know the possibility of the car, which also uses a cheap and really kind of eco-friendly topliva.S other hand, the index for fuel consumption in cars in the United States is closely monitoring the state organization "Agency for the US Environmental Protection» (United States Environmental Protection Agency, EPA), which controls the amount of harmful emissions produced by road transport. In 2013, officials imposed a fine of $ 210 million for the Hyundai and $ 185 million for Kia for South Korean auto company that deliberately underestimated the fuel consumption figures in selling cars. About 900 thousand cars Hyindai and Kia have been sold in the US for two years from the wrong indication of fuel consumption, which was underestimated by 3% (0.3-0.5 liters of gasoline). In the case of Toyota Mirai, obviously questions the officials can not be.
About the beginning of sales in Japan Mirai became known at the end of last year. The machine in their home is worth about $ 61,100, while for Green Car government subsidizes the purchase sum of about $ 17 000. The electric motor Mirai capacity of 151 liters. with. receives power from the converter, the starting substance is hydrogen stored in two tanks of carbon fiber under 70 MPa pressure. They contain 5 kg of liquefied hydrogen (this is 170 liters). Toyota touts the car quite a specific way: the videos claimed that hydrogen - the most widespread chemical element in the universe and so many that it can be produced even from manure. Video advertising is straightforward name «Fueled by bullsh * t» and you can watch it below:
