Celebrate Back to the Future Day With the Toyota Mirai

Even though it looks nothing like a DeLorean, the Toyota Mirai shares one of its main features – it can run just fine without the need of fossil fuel. The full ad shows the two actors how the new vehicle from Toyota is powered by hydrogen from waste and is compared to the Mr. Fusion equipped to the DeLorean the films. Actual performance and financial results may differ materially from projections and estimates expressed in the forward-looking statements because of many factors not anticipated by management, including risk factors described in the Company’s Form 10K for its fiscal year ended September 30, 2014. They called the vehicle a bit of a science experiment, but the innovators, the real trailblazers, didn’t see it that way. BTTF superfan and scientist Mischa Pollack joined our two heroes to unveil Totoya’s hydrogen fuel cell technology, reports Vulture.

The Back to the Future Tacoma Concept wears the same exterior paint hue as the 1985 Toyota pickup, an off-road suspension, TRD wheels with BFGoodrich tires, tubular front and rear bumpers, a custom light bar with KC HiLites LED lighting as well as 1985-vintage mud flaps. Toyota has argued that hydrogen makes more sense than battery-powered vehicles due to their long range.

“In reality, this is much better than Christmas”, Jacob Krogsgaard states with a big smile on his face casting another glance at his new white fuel cell vehicle. For more information, visit www.airproducts.com.

The Toyota Mirai is similar to a hybrid as its power comes from an electric motor.

“I’m a huge back to the future fan… especially all that insane technology”.

What isn’t mentioned in the document however is where the hydrogen fuel Toyota aims to use at its facilities to create electricity will come from.

He is engineer and CEO at the hydrogen refuelling station manufacturer H2 Logic and therefore also very interested in the technology in general. Dubbed a zero-emissions vehicle, the only output the Mirai should produce is water. Will the Japanese automaker follow through with its plans, or is it just greenwashing?
