The Toyota Mirai, a pioneering hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV), has once again demonstrated the incredible potential of hydrogen as a clean and efficient fuel source. In a groundbreaking achievement, the Mirai drove an astonishing 1003 kilometers (623 miles) on a single hydrogen fill, setting a new benchmark for zero-emission vehicle range. This remarkable feat underscores the Mirai’s efficiency, reliability, and the viability of hydrogen technology for sustainable transportation.
This record-breaking journey commenced on Wednesday, May 26th at 5:43 am from the HYSETCO hydrogen station in Orly, near Paris. The Mirai gracefully navigated public roads south of Paris, traversing the scenic Loir-et-Cher and Indre-et-Loire regions. An independent authority meticulously verified the distance and fuel consumption, confirming the Mirai’s exceptional performance. Notably, the entire record attempt utilized green hydrogen, emphasizing the environmentally friendly nature of this achievement. The Mirai achieved an average fuel consumption of just 0.55 kg/100km, a testament to its optimized fuel cell system and efficient design, especially considering its 5.6 kg hydrogen storage capacity.
