A new car from Toyota could be the blueprint of cars we’ll be driving in years to come. It’s called the Mirai -- which means "future" in Japanese -- and is Toyota's first emissions-free, hydrogen-powered vehicle...but the innovation, isn't without risks in an unproven market.

Toyota says fuel-cell car has 310-mile range

CES 2014: Toyota says fuel-cell car has 310-mile range: "... The FCV promises a 310 mile range between fill-ups, room for four passengers, and a refuel time of just three minutes. Unlike a pure electric vehicle, there's no waiting for a battery to recharge. Promised top speed is over 100 mph, and zero-to60-mile-per-hour times are about 10 seconds. The FCV's propulsion system is small enough to fit beneath the seats, and two high-pressure hydrogen tanks save space and lower costs. Many components are shared with Toyota's hybrid drivetrain. "We estimate a 95% cost reduction the powertrain and fuel tanks of the vehicle we will launch in 2015 when you compare that to what it cost for us to build the original Highlander Fuel Cell back in 2002," said Carter..."

Why Toyota and GM Are Pushing Fuel-Cell Cars to Market

Why Toyota and GM Are Pushing Fuel-Cell Cars to Market | MIT Technology Review: "But miracles do happen. Since 2009, the costs involved with fuel-cell vehicles have fallen. The prototypes that GM and Toyota built a few years ago cost well over $1 million each. Now Toyota says its goal is to sell its fuel-cell sedan for less than $100,000. Costs fell as Toyota found ways to reduce the number of parts in its fuel-cell system and to decrease the amount of costly platinum needed. The company says it’s pushing hard on R&D for manufacturing technology, among other things, to lower costs still more ahead of the 2015 launch."
