Toyota is testing a hydrogen car that can travel 600 kilometers on one tank

Toyota does not believe that plug-in electric cars are the only solution. So now the brand is openly testing a hydrogen-powered Hilux.

The biggest question in the automotive industry right now is what the customers will ultimately have to buy. That is, someone like you and me.

Toyota, that is, when they are not cheating with crash test information, think it will be a mixed bag. That is why the brand is currently testing a hydrogen-powered Hilux.

The brand says that the pickup can cover 600 kilometers on one refueling of the fuel cells. But we actually already know that, because the car was unveiled last year.

The new thing is that Toyota has now built 10 prototypes. And that the brand uses them for – yes, test work. And, of course, as an eye-catcher in the public eye. The cars can, among other things, See you at the upcoming Olympics in Paris.

The brand says so in a press release .

The technology in the rebuilt Hilux models is the same as in the actual series-produced Mirai. A car and a solution that Toyota believes is reliable. The problem is simply that there are really long distances between the hydrogen stations.

Here at home, the last of its kind closed last year, for example. However, that didn't make Toyota pull the Mirai out of the program. Otherwise, the brand's importers will be sued elsewhere in the world. Read more about it here.

In the hydrogen-powered Hilux, the 600 kilometer range is actually more than what you would expect a regular electric car with a cord to be able to do. At least according to Toyota itself. The car weighs, again say the Japanese, also less than a car with battery packs would have done.

When – and if – the Japanese intend to get serious about a hydrogen-powered Hilux, is yet to be seen. But we do know that the car currently being tested has 182 horsepower and 300 newton meters.
