The technological development of companies in the automotive market is important for the future, and even more so when it comes to research and sustainability, as the market points in this direction.
In this sense, Toyota has demonstrated the value of the Mirai by acting as a strategic partner for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, putting all of its structure, expertise and technology at the service of the world’s highest sporting event.
One factor that drew a lot of attention in the Japanese capital was the Toyota Mirai, a hydrogen-powered vehicle used by event organizers to transport staff working in the Olympic Village, demonstrating that this type of green fuel is well positioned to be the driving force of the future.
However, in addition to this, the brand’s goal is to consolidate the use of hydrogen, become a pioneer and distribute its technologies to various manufacturers around the world.
As for the car itself, in addition to aesthetic pleasure, it has a modular system produced by Toyota, which can be used in other types of models outside the Asian company, and its adaptation even includes levels covering other types of vehicles (ships, trains, static power system and buses).
Now the technology of this system includes cooling, air supply and, of course, the hydrogen line, which reaches the consumers as the end result of two configurations: horizontal (80 kW or 107 hp) and vertical (60 kW or 80 hp). .) with a difference between the two of only 10 kilograms.
Clearly, the Asian firm’s goals go beyond understanding the technology for its own use, and to that end it is working to develop new hydrogen fuel cell technologies to demonstrate to the automotive market all the benefits that vehicles like the Mirai have.
Specifications
The use of the Toyota Mirai at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games has made many parts of the world turn to see the Asian manufacturer’s model, it has made a splash with its cabin shape that can reach 182 horsepower powered by an emission-free hydrogen fuel cell with a range autonomy 650 kilometers with full load.
Three green fuel tanks are located under the rear seats and in the trunk to replenish hydrogen in just 5 minutes (142 liters), taking as little time as possible at charging stations.
Finally, Toyota Mirai propulsion occurs when the car “swallows” air, creating a reaction between hydrogen and oxygen to create energy, from the battery to the electric motor.
