Toyota shows off new mid-sized hydrogen-powered vehicle at Tokyo Motor Show
The Japanese automaker, who has made a name for itself in the alternative energy community with the Prius, has begun focusing on hydrogen fuel for the foreseeable future. This focus on hydrogen aligns with the goals of other automakers that have already been working on implementing the fuel for several years. Toyota revealed its medium-sized fuel cell concept car at the Motor Show, saying that the technology used in the vehicle will be identical to that used in its production counterpart.

The Japanese automaker, who has made a name for itself in the alternative energy community with the Prius, has begun focusing on hydrogen fuel for the foreseeable future. This focus on hydrogen aligns with the goals of other automakers that have already been working on implementing the fuel for several years. Toyota revealed its medium-sized fuel cell concept car at the Motor Show, saying that the technology used in the vehicle will be identical to that used in its production counterpart.
Toyota has revealed that it will be launching their hydrogen-powered vehicle to the commercial market in 2015. This is roughly two years after other major automakers plan to launch their vehicles. Toyota’s reasoning for the delay stems from the lack of a viable hydrogen fuel infrastructure. Without a proper infrastructure, the future of hydrogen fuel in transportation is quite bleak.
