Toyota Mirai, Hydrogen-Based FCEV, Pilot Project Launched

A pilot project to test the viability of Hydrogen based Advance Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) was inaugurated on Wednesday (March 16).

The project was inaugurated by Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari. The pilot will be carried out by Toyota along with International Center for Automotive Technology (ICAT) to study and evaluate the Toyota Mirai, which is based on this zero-emission technology.

Mirai, which runs on hydrogen battery pack, is capable of providing a range of up to 646 km in a single charge. It is also considered a true zero-emission vehicle and if the pilot is successful, 'Mirai', the world’s most advanced Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) will soon run on Indian roads.
