Toyota Mirai Mk.2
[Excerpt from Wikipedia]
MIRAI is the world’s first luxury sedan fuel cell vehicle manufactured and sold by Toyota Motor Corporation as a mass-produced vehicle.
The Toyota Fuel Cell System (TFCS) is a fusion of fuel cell technology and hybrid technology, which consists of a Toyota FC stack and high-pressure hydrogen tank developed in-house.
Since there is concern about hydrogen embrittlement, the high-pressure hydrogen tank is made of carbon fiber or resin instead of metal, and has a three-layer structure.
In the second generation, due to the adoption of SiC semiconductors for FC boost converters and the adoption of lithium-ion secondary batteries, etc.
Succeeded in reducing unit loss.
In addition, the FC stack has been made smaller and more powerful, and the power generation efficiency has been improved by introducing a new catalyst refresh control, which is about 850km (in the case of "G", other grades), which is about 30% of the previous generation. A cruising range of about 750km) has been achieved.
In addition, by adopting a platform with enhanced body rigidity based on the existing Lexus LC, 5th generation Lexus LS, and GA-L platform used in the 15th generation Crown,
The drive system has been changed from the previous front-wheel drive (FF) to rear-wheel drive (FR). Rear-wheel drive allows the FC stack to fit under the hood.
It is now possible to place the motor and drive battery in the rear.
At the same time, the optimal placement allows for an ideal weight distribution of 50:50 front and rear.
The "air purification system", which is the first to be adopted by Toyota vehicles, is a system that purifies and discharges the inhaled air by taking advantage of the characteristics of MIRAI that takes in air during driving for power generation and discharges it. It catches even fine particles.
There is no lack of safety, and the latest version of "Toyota Safety Sense" has been adopted to evolve multiple functions such as pre-crash safety and lane keep assist.
In addition, it is equipped with a DC external power supply system that can supply up to 9kW and an accessory outlet that can supply up to 4 days at AC100V / 1500W, making it possible to handle stable power even in the event of a disaster or emergency.
