Toyota has set a new record for the distance travelled in a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle with its new Mirai.
The Japanese firm, which continues to be one of only a handful of firms that sells hydrogen cars, recently introduced its new second-generation Mirai fuel cell vehicle, bringing advancements in technology, design and efficiency.
The new Mirai is capable of an official 400 miles on a single ‘tank’ of hydrogen, but a team in France has broken that record by travelling 1,003km (623 miles) before needing to be refuelled. Though Toyota said its drivers ‘adopted an economical driving style’, it added that it was nothing that couldn’t be ‘replicated in everyday driving’.
