How mysterious is hydrogen passenger cars? The official Winter Olympics car Toyota Mirai was used to reveal the secret

More than a month has passed since the end of the Winter Olympics

The snow I bought has not yet arrived

But I have a big happy event to share with you today

I got one

Official car for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games

Toyota 2nd generation MIRAI

Have you ever seen a hydrogen-powered passenger car?

Let's meet us today

The model in this test drive is the second-generation MIRAI

Built on the Toyota GA-L platform

Positioning medium-sized hydrogen energy sedans

It will be released in Japan in April 2021

The first generation of MIRAI was launched in 2014

As the world's first mass-produced FCEV model

It can be said to be an epoch-making product

And this second-generation MIRAI was in development

Toyota engineers hope

This model allows consumers to see it at first sight

You can feel it while driving and after you get out of the car

"It's a good car, I wish I had it from the bottom of my heart"

So test drive this one today

You can see that the overall design style is very cool

The concept is "SILENT DYNAMISM"

Designed for a cool look

Strive to make consumers "fall in love at first sight"

The overall body size is very close to the Asian Dragon

The length, width and height are 4973/1884/1468mm

The wheelbase is 2918mm

The styling of the side of the car

It not only improves the appearance value but also reduces the wind resistance coefficient

The interior adopts the latest design language of the Toyota family

You can imagine the comfort configuration it has

8 inch LCD meter, 12.3 inch central control screen

HUD head-up display, mobile phone wireless charging

14-speaker JBL sound system

Heating and ventilation are readily available for the front and rear seats

We test-drive this car today

In terms of power, it is equipped with a rear-mounted drive motor

The maximum power is 134 kW

The peak torque is 300 N·m

The combined cruising range is 850 km

30% longer range compared to the previous generation

This is because of the second generation of MIRAI

Increased hydrogen capacity by approximately 20%

Take advantage of the space between the front and rear axles of the vehicle

Expansion of hydrogen storage tanks from 2 to 3

As a result, the amount of hydrogen carried has been increased from 4.6 kg to 5.6 kg

Approx. 10% reduction in energy consumption

As everyone knows

The theme slogan of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games

"Together for the future"

The concept of the Green Winter Olympics also continues to run through

Toyota's second-generation MIRAI can become

Special vehicles for the Beijing Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games

It also stems to a certain extent from its ultimate green environmental protection concept

FCEV models only discharge water during driving

Known as the "Ultimate Eco-Car"

During the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games

Toyota is the first large-scale FCEV in China

"Second Generation MIRAI"

As the first to work with the International Olympic Committee and the International Paralympic Committee

Establish a mobility field

Global partnerships for automotive companies

Toyota is at the Winter Olympics and Paralympic Winter Games

A total of 2205 official cars were provided

Includes 140 second-generation MIRAI

107 "Costa Hydrogen Engines" developed specifically for the conference

(Including 2 welfare vehicles)

As well as a variety of Toyota's hybrid vehicles and pure electric vehicles

With all-round electrification technology

Perfect service for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games

It has provided strong support for the Green Winter Olympics

This Year's Winter Olympics

Toyota FCEV models have a cumulative mileage of 397,104 km

The total amount of hydrogen used is about 11,098 kg

Reduced CO2 emissions by 113,737.44kg

Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympic Winter Games are over

Toyota will also actively promote the transportation service vehicles of this year's event

Subsequent reuse of FCEV

Hopefully, this is an opportunity

Continuously promote the development of China's hydrogen fuel cell industry

Since 2016, the mainland has attached more importance to the hydrogen fuel cell industry, and has successively introduced a number of industrial policies to provide a clearer and broader market prospect for the development of the industry and encourage related enterprises to increase research and development efforts.

As early as 1992, Toyota began research and development in the field of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. As an international automotive giant known for its technical reserves, Toyota believes that it is impossible for a single company to complete carbon neutrality, and it needs to work together with like-minded partners to jointly build the development foundation of FCEVs with the strength of the whole industry, so it has been cooperating with Chinese companies in an open attitude to promote the localization of hydrogen fuel cells research and development and production.

In 2020, Yihuatong, Toyota and four other automakers jointly established "United Fuel Cell System Research and Development (Beijing) Co., Ltd."; in 2021, Yihuatong and Toyota established a joint venture in China to promote the fuel cell system business of commercial vehicles - Huafeng Fuel Cell Co., Ltd.

It is understood that Huafeng Fuel Cell Co., Ltd. will produce and sell fuel cell systems developed by United Fuel Cell System Research and Development (Beijing) Co., Ltd. The new company's first product, based on toyota's mirai fuel cell system, was launched in the Chinese market last year after increasing the output power to be suitable for commercial vehicles.

At present, mainland hydrogen fuel cells are mainly used in the field of commercial vehicles, but under Toyota's forward-looking layout and demonstrator effect, more and more companies have realized the broad prospects of hydrogen energy and its superior "carbon neutrality" contribution. At last year's Ciie Alone, more than 18 hydrogen energy products were displayed.

Policy support coupled with diversified cooperation between enterprises, the current hydrogen fuel cell has been implemented in China: at the Winter Olympics, there are about 200 Beiqi Foton hydrogen fuel cell buses equipped with Toyota's hydrogen fuel cell system; the Kosta Hydrogen Engine specially designed and developed for the conference is developed by Toyota China R&D Center and produced by Sichuan FAW Toyota, realizing toyota's first overseas hydrogen fuel cell technology from R&D to production Of the whole process of "localization".

The successful performance of Toyota's second-generation MIRAI at the Winter Olympics has provided a useful reference for the establishment of hydrogen refueling stations and surrounding facilities, as well as the development of hydrogen energy popularization. Working with partners to localize and popularize hydrogen technology is Toyota's more long-term vision and plan.

Of course, at present, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles have not really entered the stage of private consumption, and Toyota's carbon neutrality initiatives are far more than FCEVs. In China, Toyota implements a full range of electrification technologies, including HEV, PHEV, BEV, and FCEVs, to provide consumers with a variety of choices, and also to promote energy conservation and emission reduction in vehicles through the technological advancement and popularization of various models.

According to Toyota's forecast, by 2023, sales of electrified vehicles will reach 8 million, of which BEV+FCEV will reach 2 million.

With Prius as the starting point, Toyota hybrid technology after 25 years of four generations of development, with a very perfect electrification technology and three-electric system advantages, Toyota has 45 HEV products, HEV as the representative of the cumulative sales of electrified vehicles exceeded 20 million.

In addition, Toyota is committed to carbon neutrality throughout the life cycle and strives to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in manufacturing, storage, use, recycling, and disposal.

As one of the earliest car companies dedicated to energy conservation and emission reduction and clean energy research and development, Toyota continues to promote low carbon from all dimensions, not only showing the industry its forward-looking as a global automotive industry leader, but also assuming the heavy responsibility of the world's first-selling enterprise under the goal of carbon neutrality.

"Helping China achieve carbon neutrality with environmental technology", Toyota has always adhered to this concept, accumulating and contributing to the carbon neutrality of the automotive industry.
