The race for "green" car wins the Toyota
In 1997, Toyota surpassed its competitors with the revolutionary Prius, the first commercially successful gasoline-electric hybrid project. Now the Japanese firm is trying to do the same thing, but with technology on the verge of science fiction.
Fuel cell cars on hydrogen produce only water vapor and warm can work 5 times longer than battery electric cars. And this is without taking into account the time of recharging.
They are ready for that new machine the first time will be sold at a loss: managers Toyota has announced that for the key markets planned subsidies. A similar situation was with the Prius model.
Toyota believes that they found the technology making the engine more powerful, smaller and cheaper. When sales of 9 million vehicles per year spending needs to be justified.
A serious obstacle to the development of the electric vehicle is not the price, which in some countries are willing to subsidize the local government, and poor infrastructure. The lack of a wide network of fueling cars with hydrogen engine can put an end to this initiative.
