  driving vehicles - eight of their cars and SUVs
  are hybrids. Come 2015, the company that brought
  you the Prius will be introducing the Toyota Fuel

A Little History
Back in 1992, Toyota began to develop fuel cell
electric vehicles and launched the Prius in Japan
by 1996. The Prius was groundbreaking by the
year 2000, it helped reduce 340,000 tons of CO2
in the air.

Almost 20 years after Toyota began developing
fuel cell cars, we have a car that doesnt emit
any CO2 in fact the only thing it emits is
natural water vapor.

The Fuel Cell, Explained
This new technology utilizes the same driving
systems that have been running hybrids, but there
is one big exception there is no gas tank.
Instead, Toyota has placed a fuel stack, which
combines hydrogen and oxygen to create the
electrics that powers the vehicle.

Where Does The Hydrogen Come From?
A hydrogen fuel source is a cleaner and renewable
source. This type of fuel can be produced through
a variety of ways such as solar and wind power.

The Safety of Hydrogen

• Safety is paramount, and hydrogen has a lot of
  positives, including that it is
• Less flammable than gasoline
• Lighter than air
• Non-toxic
• Toyota has put their carbon fiber hydrogen tanks
  through the ringer to ensure that they are
  durable, including being shot with high caliber
  bullets in crash tests.

The new vehicle will have an approximate range of
300 miles. When refueling, the FCV will be
comparable to gasoline engines taking about 3
minutes to get a full tank.
