Toyota revealed its hydrogen electric Mirai

Toyota officially showed its first serial car that runs on hydrogen. Four-door sedan called Mirai will go on sale in most countries of the world already in 2015. The first novelty will get Japan and then, as infrastructure grows, it will be offered in the United States and Europe. The predecessor of Toyota Mirai is last year's concept FCV, the production version had inherited a lot of features. Heart of hydrogen electric Mirai became the 136-horsepowerelectric motor, which supplies energy to the hydrogen-driven converter. One filling of gas under the pressure of 70 Mpa can be used for 480 km run, and the process of filling the tank will take less than five minutes.
However, there aren’t many hydrogen refueling stations even in Japan and in the United States too. Toyota and Air Liquide plans to open a network of 12 STATIONS on the North-East of the United States simultaneously with the beginning of sales of Mirai.
In Japan, a revolutionary new product will cost about 7 million yen, and in the United States it will cost about 60000 dollars, in Europe the price will be equal to 48000 Euro.
