Toyota India, in collaboration with the International Center for Automotive Technology (ICAT), will study and evaluate the battery-powered electric vehicle at world’s most advanced fuel cell (FCEV), the Toyota Mirai.
Union Roads and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari arrived today (30 March) in Parliament in the Toyota Mirai, a hydrogen car cell electric vehicle (FCEV). Gadkari highlighted the need to raise awareness about hydrogen, FCEV technology and its benefits to support India’s hydrogen-based society amid rising fuel prices in India.
Arriving in Parliament, Nitin Gadakri said, “India will soon become a green hydrogen exporting country. In line with Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modiji’s vision of cutting-edge clean mobility in India, our government has committed through the “National Hydrogen Mission” to focus on green energy and clean.”
Nitin Gadkari’s decision to use hydrogen as an alternative vehicle power source alongside electric power for electric vehicles and CNG is seen as appropriate at a time when gasoline prices exceeded the Rs 100 mark in some cities like Delhi and Mumbai and are steadily rising a few days earlier.Gadkari had inaugurated a pilot project to test the feasibility of the advanced hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) in India .which runs on hydrogen.
About hydrogen car
The Toyota Mirai has a Guinness Book of Records to its name for driving 1,359 km on a single tank of fuel, making it the most environmentally friendly car in the world. Toyota Mirai has an EPA certified mileage of 400 miles on a single tank of fuel. Hydrogen takes less time to fill and emits zero tailpipe emissions, just like electric vehicles.
The project aims to raise awareness about hydrogen and FCEV technology and spread its benefits to support a hydrogen-based society in India. According to the Department of Roads and Highways, green hydrogen transport will be a key technology option of the future with significant application, especially in larger and better cars, buses, trucks, ships and trains. suitable for medium and long distances.
