Despite the obvious benefits of de -electric cars, Toyota spent the last decade asserted Hydrogen will win eventually. But, as a company Announced the third generation of its fuel cell systemYou can say that it is finally ready to tacitly admit the defeat: the new cell is designed for industrial applications, where hydrogen is clearly always meaningful.
The new cell is designed to meet the “specific needs of the commercial sector,” focusing on the durability equal to a diesel engine. It's better fuel, cheaper to produce and outputs twice as much energy while sitting on the same footprint as a second -generation model. Due to the love of Toyota that its engine technology is backing down, that size is not a factor here is a huge state of which it sees the cells used.
Toyota cannot make economic or technological arguments for hydrogen cars as a better choice than electricity (the Mirai. But for heavy vehicles on duty, where battery weight and power are more forcing concerns, hydrogen flaws are becoming properties. Trucks, construction vehicles, trains, ships and backup generators-less at risk from the lack of infrastructure of general-purpose hydrogen-are welcome homes for fuel cells.
