Within the framework of the Frankfurt Motorshow, Toyota will demonstrate a pre -production prototype of auto.
During a large -scale auto order, which will take place in Frankfurt a week later, the Japanese company plans to present a concept equipped with a hydrogen engine. In overall indicators, the conceptual model of Toyota FCHV is slightly superior to Avensis, during its construction, some units of the PRIUS hybrid model were used. The manufacturer preferred to keep the technical specifications of the novelty on the fuel cells in secret. As for the exterior of the concept, here, also, judging by the teaser, at the moment there is a little understanding. The developers managed to create a compact energy -efficient power plant that allows the use of fuel tanks of more compact dimensions. In addition, the constructive concept contains a number of innovative solutions that allow FCHV to operate in harsh low -temperature conditions in the range up to -30 s. It can be assumed that the technology involved in the concept will find use in a serial car. Now Toyota representatives are working on a solution to the issue of increasing the range of mileage on one full tank, the maximum decrease in the cost of the car, the possible launch of its serial production, and the discovery of open sale. At the moment, the estimated cost of the Toyota FCHV serial model is estimated at 82 thousand. Euro. Toyota is betting on fuel cells due to their environmental friendliness. The work of such engines is accompanied by exhausts in the form of ordinary water. By a chemical reaction with the participation of hydrogen and oxygen, energy is produced in the power plant.
