According to Toyota's statement, Toyota, which has a vision of a sustainable hydrogen future, has taken the first step of a new beginning in the automotive industry with its second generation fuel cell Mirai sedan.
Toyota, which started working on hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in 1992, first introduced the Mirai sedan to the world market in 2014. Toyota, which has been working on environmentally friendly fuel technologies for more than 50 years, takes the fuel cell vehicle technology to a new level with the new generation Mirai, with its ability to only release water vapor and clean the air by converting hydrogen into electricity.
New Mirai, which has zero emission emission, not only does not harm the environment with its new technologies, but also has a 'negative emission' effect that cleans the environment as you drive. With its name meaning 'future' in Japanese, Mirai also paves the way for everyone to have easy access to environmentally friendly automobile technology with a 20 percent more affordable price.
Standing out with its design as well as its technology, the new Mirai is built on the modular GA-L platform. With a more efficient technical layout, the new Mirai offers larger living space and a seating capacity of five people. The new Mirai, which has a more modern design, also provides a more dynamic driving performance.
Mirai's range increased by 30 percent
While developing the new Mirai, Toyota conducted a versatile work that would encompass all expectations from design to driving, from performance to comfort. With efficiency as a priority, Mirai has managed to go beyond the range of typical battery electric cars. Power and hydrogen fuel capacity increased the better aerodynamic range by 30 percent, combined with increased efficiency. With the improvements made thanks to the addition of an extra hydrogen tank, the zero-emission Mirai, which releases only water vapor, has been made suitable for a range of around 650 kilometers.
Along with Toyota's modular GA-L platform and new fuel cell power unit, the layout of the fuel cell system also provides a larger living space for five people in the cabin. Mirai also stands out with its size.
The wheelbase of the vehicle, whose height was reduced by 1,470 mm by 65 mm, was increased by 140 mm to 2,920 mm. The track width of the vehicle, which is 4,975 mm in length, has been increased by 75 mm. A more dynamic look was achieved with the use of 19-20 inch wheels at the front and rear. The new Mirai, which can carry 5.6 kg of hydrogen with its T-shaped fuel cell tank, offers a balanced and dynamic ride with an optimized 50:50 weight distribution.
Toyota's new fuel cell system and fuel cell power converter were specially developed for the GA-L platform. Smaller and lighter parts also improve performance.
With an innovative approach, Mirai, which was reduced by 50 percent in parts, became 12 percent stronger than its previous generation. While the new generation Mirai produces 174 HP with its 5.4 kW/l power density, it offers high performance even in cold conditions such as -30 degrees with its developed structure.
The new Mirai is also equipped with a lithium-ion high-voltage battery instead of the existing Mirai's nickel metal hybrid battery.
Despite its smaller size, the battery has higher energy density, lower weight and greater efficiency.
