Toyota to launch new hydrogen fuel cell car this year

Toyota has made an official announcement regarding its plans of launching a new hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle – Toyota Mirai, this year. 

The upcoming Toyota Mirai will sport ultra-strong carbon-fibre tanks that can be filled in around ten minutes. The gas in the car creates a chemical reaction between the hydrogen and oxygen in the air.This also gets converted into electricity, which in turn powers the car.
