- Toyota decided that the right way of action is not to compete with Tesla in the EV segment but to actually make a completely different segment that they will dominate. They saw the potential of using hydrogen in vehicles, as it is the most abundant chemical element in the whole universe. And so, in 2014, the first production hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, the Toyota Mirai [mk1] came out. Whilst it couldn’t directly compete with Tesla and the EV segment at the time, the actual market showed a lot of potential, as the car could be recharged much faster than an EV and could even cover much greater distances, while still being completely emission-free and green for the environment. Even though sales were limited to California and Japan, and even though the car was fairly overpriced for what it was, Toyota still managed to sell more than 20,000 units!

The fact that Yamaha's helping design this engine makes me so excited because every time they touch an engine that will go into a Toyota something legendary gets made.
to mention hydrogen is very energy dense, I can't wait to see what's possible to make hehe
Yamaha also has teamed up with Toyota for a Lexus hydrogen side by side off road vehicle 🙂👌🏼🚀✔️
Like Toyota Supra (the old one)
If anyone can make it work it’s them I like the idea of this so much more to EV’s but I know it’s a long way away still
I hope for your case, it’s a pre-Renault Nissan.
This is pretty cool for car enthusiasts in the future. Having a zero emission vehicle but still having an ice that can sound good, and potentially even a manual transmission would be the dream
.... Hydrogen is probably better used to power generators at a power plant than be used as a mobile transportation fuel. Sodium and not lithium battery technology will likely make this the logical outcome...
@@wokewokerman5280 You are wrong. As long as an electric car needs to stand and charge for more than 5-10 minutes to get 800km range it will not be the future. It might be there for some time but at the end, over time, we will end up with the most practical solution which is a car that can fill up to 800-1000km range in less than 5 minutes. I really don't get EV fan boys that voluntarily want a solution that is basically crap compared to what we can get.
@@Dani-it5sy ... try getting some education on energy systems, because you are so wrong on so many levels, is why few people ever see what's coming until it's here and they say oh, well....
@@wokewokerman5280 I think it is you that is not fully educated.
Hydrogen Combustion Engine is not zero emission though.
While the hydrogen fuel does not have any carbon that would form COx gases, the atmosphere that the engine is operating in has various gases that interact during high temperatures.
Nitrogen and Oxygen would form various oxides (NOx) during combustion.
Still, its a far greener option compared to petroleum based fuel combustion engines.
1.5 min to fill up vs 45 min to 6 hours to recharge a battery is a HUGE selling point in my eyes.
Downside. No hydrogen fuel stations available in the US outside of California.
Bing able to fill up at home is a HUGE selling point in my eyes.
@@Athasin I am quite sure there Are 10s of thousands of gas station owners who would be over joyed to retro fit their stations to hydrogen. Having to sit parked for 6 hours to re charge a battery no thanks
And a 45 min - 6 hr drive to find a fuel station.
@@SerenoOunce Love to know what the 10s of thousands of horrible batteries they intend on it, which are housed in plastic mind you which is made from oil lol
I would definitely buy one of these cars any day over an EV.
That’s probably not true, unless you never drive very far.
I would prefer to have the option to buy a hydrogen vehicle over an EV. But at this point, living in a rural area and driving 60 miles a day and needing a truck for towing capacity, neither are on par with what I need and can afford.

Not just for India but for nearly every country. Plus, charging for 20-30 mins is ridiculous in this day and age. That's why electric vehicles are still so such a low percentage in auto market.

Hi everyone. I'm the inventor of the hydrogen engine, was a pleasure listening to your positive feedback. Sincerely giant Pikachu.
I hope there will be a push for this technology over electric motors and batteries. One reason is this would eliminate the issues associated with sourcing precious metals and the recycling/waste issue when the batteries are no longer useful. Another thing I like is the fast refueling time. I think that larger transport vehicles, delivery vehicles, construction and farm equipment would also benefit from this technology more so than electric technology.
@CareFreeVT You do realize it uses 4x the electricity and the fuel cost is 16X more with shorter range? Its basically a hoax .
a hydrogen tank exploding will sound over a mile loud and the blast effect will level out at least 30 feet feet of buildings

Over 40 years ago in Toronto and many large cities in Canada, we were using a 37 percent hydrogen based fuel in taxi's , couriers, police cars and municipal vehicles. It's 104 octane propane also known as LPG. Propane is found naturally underground along with natural gas. When a barrel of oil is refined, butane and propane are byproducts of the refining of oil. About 70 percent of propane used in North America is sourced from the ground with 30 percent from the refinery process of oil.
Toyota is working on bio gas too. We'll see how this will go in the next few decades

I'm glad to see the nitrous oxide problem was (somewhat) fixed. Now for the problem of the almost non-existent H2 fueling network. 🙁

Thank goodness somebody is getting it right! Thank you Toyota for your progression with this direction of engineering technology. The first hydrogen powered vehicle was developed in the late 1800's. The piston engine is totally recyclable and refueling is as fast as a gasoline fill up. Plus present gasoline fueling stations can be easily converted to hydrogen fueling stations.
this is amazing. the more good options for environmentally friendly vehicles the better
The development of an engine like that would have a lot of more uses than only cars. It would be very interesting for factories, ships, airplanes, emergency support system in buildings, etc
Rolls Royce is already working on hydrogen powered jet engine for airplanes. Hopefully soon we might see one operational.
What about hydrogen fueled power plants?

More options is always a good thing. Let people choose whatever they please.

Not to mention more options usually means more competition, which also usually means better prices for the end-user.
Batteries are lame. You never get what they say and it only gets worse from there.
@@geek8001 You're probably right
I like the idea of Hydrogen for sure. Living in Australia I would be keen to find out how far a tank would get you and whether the power/torque is up there with fossil fuels.
@Geek dunno man.. we thought that for Full Electric/hybrid electric.. look at it now? decent more range, but LITHIUM ion like your Mac/phone EVERY YEAR goes LOWER RANGE moreso than combustion engine LOSS per year.. haha. Bad not being able to charge in cold, cold weather sometimes stopping? where do we PUT NEW super charging stations? its weird man... hydrogen cars.. you can just add the fuel LINES with hydrogen... no need to SIT THERE AND CHARGE on a special pump... you just add one more normal FAST (SECONDS LOADING pumps).. .:D WITH actual motor movement ZERO bad emission .. sorry we can't be haters man.
@Geek did you even watch the video?
The Hyundai Nexo have a range of 600 something km. I wanted to buy it a few years ago, but then when I found out the car has to be taken to service for every 10k km, and cost up to US $1000 here where I live, I decided not to buy it. And the filling stations are down to just one in my area. Pluss you have to list yourself for filling as it can just fill up to 50 cars a day before the hydrogen fuel tank at the station goes empty. I'm curious of how this new engine will expand the range or not...?
@@Fay-el The ICE Engine will be considerably less efficient, the thermodynamics of an UCE mean that you can expect 200km range on the same tank as an Mirai or Nexo…
@@karlgunterwunsch1950 the nexo has a range of 600+ km. Didn't quite get your 200 km range
Good to see they overcame the problem gm had with buying hydrogen and storing it
This is literally a dream come true for me, im such a die hard v8 and ICE fanboy, i was a little more than cheesed with the so called death of the ICE looming, this gives me hope
Its good idea in theory. Now its just the fact of how they are goin to get the amount of fuel onboard, safely, to have a respectable range. Right now with say a 18gallon fuel tank...that equals roughly 50miles of range for hydrogen gas. It would take roughly 97 gallons (in hydrogen gas comparison) to push a truck/car 300 miles. Thats like a giant trash bin.....plus 2 5gallon buckets in size. Hard to store that in a truck let alone a sports car or sedan.
If this is available at all it will only be in just for fun cars, not sensible vehicles for actually travelling.
Absolutely I would buy one…price point and refuelling places would be needed…I have been waiting for these…
Sounds very interesting I would’ve liked to see more and listen to more of what Toyota is going, There’s too many adverts I’ve had enough of it
Very informative video
Gearheads need to have fun too. We can't all be batteryheads. This definitely would be a good alternative for gearheads like myself. Gas guzzlers going green, that's what I agree with ⚙️
@Gearz 365. I agree! I don't want to drive a lifesize rc car.
Yes, you are right. If theres a market, theres a reason for it
Agree. Porsche and toyota are def helping us gearheads out for the future.
Now they have to figure out how to get the hydrogen to fit and take a truck or car 300 miles per fill up. Also need to get the cost down.
Yep turbos !
I like it. Hope GM decides to make them so we can keep a more traditional style engine. Internal combustion engine is one of the greatest inventions of all times, in my opinion.
It's very inefficient. That v8 engine gets 19mpg. The Toyota mirai hydrogen fuel cell car gets 65mpg.
GM will only f things up
The Obama Administration in 2010 forced GM to dump their fully functional hydrogen fuel cell vehicle in favor of EVs. This was a requirement to receive the bailout for GM. Other companies of the same time [i.e. Toyota] also were developing hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
If you consider 30% efficiency a great number
But totalitarian communists don't want the common citizen to have his own private car. Agenda 2030 "You will not own anything and you are supposed to be happy" ... American and Western European hippies from the 1960s began to rule the world and are bringing the world and civilization to collapse! Drugs have damaged these people's brains since Agenda 2030!
The H2 powerd ICE engine is like reinventing a horse carriage with latest composites and computers on board- its engine is more complex and components laden so making all the extra heavy components shall be more CO2 intensive and costly, when fuel cell technology can power all stationary industrial activity one doesn't need to go back to reinventing the wheel with hydrogen ICE engine
Always a Toyota fan and customer since many years
This seems like a much better alternative to traditional gasoline engines as compared to EVs. The cobalt and lithium mining and human rights violations therein will always cause pause for me and limit my willingness to dive in.
You do know that fuel cell manufacture requires platinum?
and less of the mining of cobalt needed for the lithium batteries for EV's, from the Congo... From the "not all mines are modern equipment and still people mining by hand".
Helps save the children and the rest in the Congo.
So true. And especially knowing that at current technology EVs emitting more co2 than hybrids and gas fuel engines in its entire lifecycle from manufacturing process and the electricity we're using for EVs mostly comes from burning fossil fuels anyway. EVs simply not ready yet
@@Brian-om2hh You do know that hydrogen ICE and fuel cell are two different things?
@@Tz3952ii How do you think hydrogen is produced ? it's a very inefficient process, then to burn it in an inefficient engine with maybe 25% efficiency at best. lol. Not only that but a lot of energy is needed to cool the hydrogen to -260 odd deg C for transport.
Even if my ev was powered by coal it's still using it's energy at 80+% efficiency.
I admit electric cars have some ways to go but for now I'm happy to be in my EV driving on cheap electricity, there's a couple of times a year I need public chargers when away from home but most of my 30,000 miles a year is done from wither my home charge point and the free work charge point.

This reminds me of the junction semiconductor industry was deciding EUV vs E-Beam
Wasn't it between euv and nanoimprint lithography? Anyways, I think that's a fair comparison as the technology that resembles our current system of energy transport and refueling is the one that's going to win. Hence why I always believe that hydrogen has a better chance than ev

A very viable engine! As a retired Mazda master tech; I've known of the emission of a Hydrogen powered vehicle to be ULTRA low; and the total car production can be more eviro- friendly than EV's. But the fuel storage is something that can go catastropicaly wrong. I believe it's the fuel of the future! wish my Avalon TRD ran on it
Finally someone who knows what they is talking about. I am a sustainable energy engineer myself, and all we talk about is hydrogen, hydrogen and hydrogen. Hydrogen, however, needs about 5-10 years to be viable. One of the best uses of hydrogen in the future will be for energy storage purposes. For example, sun and wind farms generate excess power -> stored in hydrogen -> converted back to clean electricity when needed. H2 is indeed the future of sustainability
If you are really a Mazda master tech I need to thank you. I have have a 99 Mazda, 5 spd manual since it was new. 253,000 miles and still runs like a top. I would rather buy a hybrid from Mazda or Toyota, than a Tesla.
The already available Toyota mirai hydrogen fuel cell car gets 65mpg. Even if they can get this v8 working as well with hydrogen as it does with gasoline it will only get 19mpg. Why bother with noisy, polluting (NOx), inefficient combustion engines when you could use a fuel cell instead.
What do you mean by "catastrophicaly wrong" sounds like that part of the program is a rolling bomb. everyone on here is going "yayyy" I know bugs need to be worked out still or what?
Hydrogen cars are great until you look at the emissions from production of hydrogen.
What is the LCOE of these vs CNG engines currently under works vs EV's ? I think the farm to fork will be greater to produce the hydrogen?
Isn't LCOE a key performance factor of power plants? But then neither an H2 car nor a BEV are power plants?
You have to understand that LCOE is a very technical term that most ppl on youtube don't know
The bottom line is that BEV and Hydrogen powered cars can be powered from low carbon electricity. CNG still contains carbon which is released when you burn it. So while it's an improvement over oil it is not sufficient. I don't think it's worth developing and building infrastructure to support a whole different technology that cannot be part of the long term solution.
BEVs are somewhat heavy and more resource intensive to make, but extremely efficient. About 90% of the electricity you start with ends up driving the wheels. Making hydrogen is inefficient. By the time you get to turning the wheels they are about 1/3 the efficiency of a BEV. HFC is for people who are in too much of a hurry to charge their battery and don't mind paying 5x as much to power their car for the luxury of a fast fill up. Hydrogen ICE is another factor of 3 less efficient than HFC. It makes no sense for actually travelling anywhere. It would only be used by very rich people who like the sound of an engine and want to drive it for short distances just for fun. If you kept the tank the same size as a typical car you would only get about 50 miles of range with this engine.
The next step would be to fill your tank up with water (H2O). And replenish the atmosphere with oxygen. Keeping the Hydrogen for your fuel.
BMW’s Hydrogen 7 series had the best advertising;

What is it that makes it a clean green future using this development. I didn't get it.
To the informed, there's nothing interesting in this video...and somewhat conveniently it doesn't mention hydrogens' most significant issue. The issue which makes it unscalable to any considerable extent and has stopped hydrogen from being a reality instead of a dream!
@@beatreuteler In relation to a clean, green future this video is nonsense as it ignores hydrogen's biggest problem.
@@dipladonic I guess you got it.
@@beatreuteler Indeed, I got it...hydrogen is scaleable, but the process of turning hydrocarbons into hydrogen is extremely inefficient and polluting, hence hydrocarbons are better deployed in their natural state. 'Green' hydrogen is the green energy panacea. Unfortunately, the technology to manufacture ubiquitous green hydrogen hasn't yet come to pass.
People literally driving bombs down the road, really cool but that's rocket fuel in a compressed tank... they're bombs.
That is great, they have had this technology for a long time
Yes I would buy one , and I think Mazda is my choice with it's new triple rotary trans Axel patent
Perfect, now all they need to do is work out how to make green hydrogen 3 times more efficient to make to be the same efficiency as putting renewable electricity straight into a EV ;0)
Red hydrogen should be the solution for that. Japan has some work done on this end with the goal of making large amounts of hydrogen cheaply via a new nuclear reactor design, their research estimates put it a bit cheaper than gas in Japan if that's deployed in large scale. The reason is due to the jump in efficiency, since this uses thermolysis and not electrolysis to produce hydrogen which removes the roundtrip penalty for "electricity => hydrogen => electricity". Hydrogen would essentially be a byproduct of the nuclear plant.
Renewable like the the Rusian gas 😏👍👍
Hello europe
LCAs are subject to multiple levels of uncertainty, but an assessment published by the Journal of Cleaner Production in 2021 shatters the notion that electric cars are cleaner than conventional ones, much less “zero emission.” The LCA found that manufacturing, charging, operating, and disposing of electric vehicles produces more of every major category of pollutants than conventional cars. This includes:
an increase in fine particulate matter formation (26%), human carcinogenic (20%) and non-carcinogenic toxicity (61%), terrestrial ecotoxicity (31%), freshwater ecotoxicity (39%), and marine ecotoxicity (41%) relative to petrol vehicles.
What is the efficiency of this system? 10%? Seems like a really crazy way forward.
Now that, was a meaty sound, if I ever heard on. All I can think of when I hear Hydrogen is Hindenburg.
Great move for Toyota!
I’m glad Toyota is sticking to this route, you just can’t expect to change the world to full EV based on gov benchmarks, the world wont be able to spit out the demand which is used in these batteries.

I remember Metal Hydrides for Hydrogen storage being discussed in Scientific American magazine back in the 1980's. I'm guessing that the technology was a dead end as it faded from being mentioned since then. Any one else know anything about this?
Sounds very promising ! I'd like to see major European car maker makes engine like this
Yea you can wait for that they sleep on hydrogen and focus on ev cars
They won't, too dickless for them to shift away from EV now.
Don't be a reckless driver, you would instantly roast beef.
Cars need variety too. The final decision is made by the user.
The user has already chosen. New cars registration in central Europe for example is 17% BEV and it's a new technology. From history (I'm told) one can estimate that a technology then goes beyond 11% has finally made it. As far as statistics are saying, the Mirai and other H2 cars are at 0.0x%
I would love to see a BMW i3 with HFC using the carbon fiber, reinforced plastic and aluminum like the original i3.
Hydrogen powered F1 cars may be a good incentive to have manufacturers boost the technology of these engines
They’d need a lot of pit stops.
Toyota has excellent products and I am encouraged by their likely use of the most common element in the universe.
I've been waiting for Hydrogen powered vehicles to become popular ever since seeing a film of a Hydrogen bus driving around in Germany over 5 decades ago.
You'll be waiting for a very long time then. It's never going to happen because the overall efficiency is terrible, the equipment is complicated and you'll need a whole new infrastructure to support it.
Hydrogen Tundra or Tacoma? Im in. It's difficult to charge an EV with solar in the winter in Canada and the cold reduces your range quite a bit if you want to run the heater.

Excellent !
Would love to see V8 Pickup trucks with these hpc engines.
you can get semis on hydrogen easily. many already use LPG and NGV
Give me hydrogen over an EV any day. I've driven an EV and it was the most boring driving experience I've ever had. Petrol heads need to hear the roar of an engine.
You think this is an option? Look into the volumetric energy density. The fuel tank would need to be 60 + gallons to go 50 miles.
I agree ☝️ the future is Green Hydrogen not Lithium.
Add 6 Speed Manual to it !
Idk I don't like EVs but until they prove their worth I don't like hydrogen either. Low energy density is one thing but I'm concerned about it's flammability and leakability considering that H2 is smallest gas molecule. Especially comsidering now that the car is supposed to combust the H2 now as well in an ICE.
If they can over come those while bringing H2 stations close to my home and cheaper than gas I'll be on board but so far I've seen exactly zero H2 stations where I live.
If it comes down to which to take today, I'll still take an EV because I see chargers nearly everywhere including the work parking lot.
@@VictorF0326 why would people have waste their time charging for 20-30mins in 2023 just cause of climate lmao, whatever the new energy is, it's gotta be at least the same or more convenient than gas.
Very exciting news about the hydrogen combustion engine. With its range, power and durability, I much prefer this over a fully electric vehicle. I will not even buy an electric vehicle. I will wait until the technology for the hydrogen combustion engine makes this more practical and then I will look forward to buying this. I’m definitely a future customer.

Could we be expecting the next Prius to be a hydrogen/petrol hybrid? Now THAT I would want!
Very low probability. The next Prius will most likely be a BEV.
@@beatreuteler it already hydrogen battery?
@@UnitedPebbles Maybe LiFePo4?
why, exactly, would you want that?
what would be the point of having 2 ICEs in a car? kinda silly if you ask me.
I remember seeing hydrogen powered 16 passenger airport buses built by ford with supercharged v-10’s. forget the year. Supercharger was used because of the higher octane of hydrogen as well as the less btu per pound than gas problem.
Definitely the way to go by! I would buy this !
Excellent, practical development.
One thing forgotten often, is the ability to transport the fuel to areas without the infrastructure to support electric.
Which is quite alot of areas given how much strain on the grid electric cars can be.
EV are the future. Batteries will become more powerful and affordable in future.
Yup!
Suddenly everyone here on the comments section has become an professional engineer with super minds
I read a fast and furious fanfiction the otherday about a 1970 dodge charger with a Hydrogen engine. Nice to see that might not be fiction soon.
The engine components particularly the armoured hydrogen fuel storage looks like the making of future space exploration technology, upgraded spaceship engines and engines with the power to drive machinery on other planets in inhospitable environments.
Very good point in fact, since hydrogen is abundant everywhere or can be extracted through electrolysis on any icy planet, making a hydrogen engine gives a generator with infinite fuel.
Hydrogen fuel cells are one of the only reasons we made it to the moon, with clean water and power.
This tech has been around so long it's all by design. I've been preaching that the future is Hydrogen for decades, and due to oil profits it was shelved and covered up on purpose for civilians. Military has been using it successfully for decades so has NASA... It's one of the unknown knowns.
🤣😀
God decrease gold price....
@@subhajit1128 indeed ☑️
I feel like the cobalt in ev batteries oughta quality them as depending on non renewable resources too
Tesla is using lithium iron phosphate batteries with no cobalt.
@@FuzzyStarburst Having faith in the honesty and sincerity of capitalist corporations, especially when it comes to matters environmental, is just too naïve for my personal tastes, but you make your own lifestyle choices hon. Also, you *have* heard of markets containing more than just one brand, right?
This shows how versatile the internal combustion engine is! You can run it on fuel made from nearly anything, it only needs some tweaking of the carburetor and ignition.
The big problem with hydrogen combustion is the size of the hydrogen tank required.
This is great and all but the biggest problem here is storing a large quantity of hydrogen in one place for people to refuel. Accidents happens and hydrogen does not forgive.
I love the idea of combustion engine being clean nothing sounds better than a combustion engine hopefully they can make it a good option soon not a big fan of all electric cars, they are fast but it’s just like a big golf cart the front of Tesla model 3 looks like a big golf cart and I’m big fan of Toyota and Lexus cars so would love to be able to get a clean 5.0 Toyota or Lexus in the near future I mean look at the lfa what a amazing sounding engine that is that’s music to my ears I have to have more of that so I’m crossing my fingers that Toyota pulls this technology off so I don’t have to by a big golf cart , I can always keep the old combustion car running like a 1994 Supra with a turbo 2jz Thanks!
The problem is how are they going to fit the amount of hydrogen needed to get the car/truck to go 300miles per fill up (which with this tech is about 97gallons). And of course price of hydrogen is pretty expensive. Roughly $18 a gallon.
Is the period button broken on your keyboard? Just teasing.
I seriously hope they can pair these with stick shifts!
Monkee go vroom vroom
it's not that they can't build it as a stick shifter, more like, are there enough people who would buy a manual one? ^^
@@scream_follow1520 bro trust me there are DEFINITELY a lot of people that would get one, that’s like half if not over half the car community’s dream.
@@jaidenmatlock302 never in my life will i ever buy a manual again. the sheer stupidness of constantly shifting gears from 1 to 2 and back again in heavy traffic(wich in belgium is everywhere) is frustrating as hell.
Manual gears ffs
Hydrogen vehicle are a way to go. Toyota is the preferred manufacturer...
How does recovery work at an accident scene and how much new tech training is required for a licensed mechanic?
Love Toyota's and you can't go wrong with Japanese products
Great idea if you can develop an extensive refilling infrastructure to support hydrogen vehicles. It's a chicken/egg problem, but you have to have both. BTW - plugin EVs are suitable for short local trips, but are totally unsuited for long-distance cross-country trips.
The hell you talking about. I just went with my family to Savannah from Miami and it took us 10 hours in a Kia EV6. We stopped to charge about 3 times, each charge was about 25 minutes to 100%. In my Honda Pilot, the same trip would be about 9 to 10 hours. EV cars are getting faster charging.
finally, someone who knows what he is talking about.
EV’s are a good idea, it will just take time to get there. The clean energy infrastructure, battery technology and charging will have to get better. But it’s coming along nicely. As someone else mentioned.
@@positoxav Good luck with that in -20 degree temps up north.
Where can they be refuelled and is it expensive to do so. Lots of unanswered questions but sounds promising!
Great Idea, would much rather have hydrogen because of easier and less complicated filling/charging etc.
More parts to service for profit and the explosive thing plus no fuelling stations has this dead in the water. As more people see the simplicity and minimal costs for running EVs these less efficient and more costly modes of transport will fade away
