- Toyota’s ALL NEW Hydrogen Car Will Completely DESTROY The Car Industry!
Toyota is leading a big change in the car industry with its new hydrogen-powered vehicles, challenging the popular electric cars. Starting back in the early '90s, Toyota has been at the forefront of hydrogen technology. Today, they've introduced the Mirai and the luxurious Toyota Crown sedan. These cars don’t just aim to stop pollution but also offer an environmentally friendlier option compared to electric vehicles, which depend on batteries that can harm the environment. Join us as we look at how Toyota is not only changing the way cars are made but also helping create a cleaner, greener future.

Hydrogen will only destroy Toyota
No, all it will do is continue the demise of the Japanese automotive industry. No hydrogen stations are being built, and the ones around here that were built seem to be being closed. Hydrogen as a fuel for cars is just a non-starter. Aside from all its other issues, who wants to be sitting on a 10,000 psi tank of any gas, let alone hydrogen.
There are 160 hydrogen stations in Japan, and about 90 in Germany. Public buses in Tokyo have already adopted Toyota's hydrogen fuel-cell system. Currently, JR East is also testing hydrogen trains for usage in their non-electrified lines that currently use diesel propulsion.
Almost every major automaker is working on Hydrogen fuel cells, whether it's Daimler, Volvo, Toyota, etc. It's because they all know that BEVs don't work for all applications, especially in commercial segment. Toyota's hydrogen semi-trucks are already in use as yard trucks in ports like LA.
Companies like Toyota think in decades. Hybrid research started in 1975, but Toyota couldn't start development until rechargeable battery technology matured. They started development in 1992, and introduced the first Prius in Japan in 1997. All of that research decades ago is why current hyrbrids are reliable and affordable. "MIRAI" means future in Japanese, because it's technology being developed for the future.
@@yo2trader539 The bottom line is that, unless you plan to keep getting the hydrogen from fossil fuels, it is more efficient to store renewable electricity in batteries than to convert it to hydrogen and then back again. Many companies looked at FCEV tech. Many transit agencies (including my local one) ran comparisons of FCEV and BEV for buses - a decade long comparison in the case of my local one, and they still have their FCEVs running and their own hydrogen fueling station, but they're only buying BEV buses now. FCEV cars are worth almost nothing here used, and companies are closing the fueling stations, not opening more. Hydrogen for personal transit is a dead end.
There may well be some applications (trains, although battery powered trains seem to be winning there too) and shipping being possible candidates. Heavy goods vehicles were looking like they might benefit too, but BEV trucks, and especially those with battery swap options, seem to be winning that space,
Doubt it. Have you seen the price of Hydrogen .
A beautifully designed and developed car, that runs on rocking horse poo. Not a recipe for success I'd suggest. I'm utterly certain that in it's way this car works beautifully, but like some of those cartoons of complicated ways of serving one with a boiled egg, a hot bath, and sit you into your trousers directly from your bed, this solution is doomed to failure from the very start. Why does it need to carry hydrogen to convert into electricity, or burning the stuff to run a conventional piston engine, when we now have an all-electric capability that is improving exponentially? Hydrogen molecules are so tiny that they leak through every material you try to contain them in, so your full tank becomes empty all on its own, even if your car never turns a wheel. Because of this you cannot leave it in an enclosed space or, like gasoline, it can form an explosive mixture that blows all and sundry into next Sunday. Then there's its fuel, hydrogen. The vanishingly small number of refuelling stations are being closed because nobody will pay for the exorbitant price that hydrogen is selling for. Hydrogen is currently being made from liquid hydrocarbons, or 'oil' as we know it as. It is an energy intense process that creates significant on-going pollution. If we even ignore that bug-bear and look ahead to the time when solar and wind generated electricity will crack water to extract hydrogen (H2O), just adding that process into the supply chain loses a significant proportion of the initial energy (basic physics). Then we have to compress the stuff either into an astonishingly high pressure gas, or freeze it to a few degrees above Absolute zero degrees Centigrade (more than minus 200 degrees below the freezing point of water), and then keep it there until we use it. This brings with it the dangers and sheer cost of transportation and storage to the fuel pumps we would need to be as common as gasoline pumps. Unlike gasoline which only needs a small electric motor to pump it into our car, out of a big steel tank living underneath the fuel station (very simple and basic technology), a hydrogen fuelling station would require dreadfully expensive and gigantic pressure vessels, or cryogenic liquid storage facilities. Even after all that, you have a version of a car that isn't in any way better than either a conventional gasoline/diesel car, or an all-electric car. Worse still, it isn't just water that ends up as the exhaust of a hydrogen car, there are still other nasty by-products involved in the process that need dealing with and disposing of. All in all, hydrogen vehicle technology is a solution already bypassed by a better alternative, plain old electricity that you store in a battery (which are entirely recyclable and still worth a lot of money to the owner once their service life is over). The fact that early battery chemistry was rather short lived in its useful life, is no longer even slightly true. Batteries that are well controlled by a sophisticated battery management system are lasting longer than the cars they're fitted to. Even the capacity of a battery to contain electricity is increasing by leaps and bounds, to the point that there are now batteries of sufficient energy density to use to power big-body jet aircraft. In fairness, this hasn't filtered down to vehicle use level yet, but the point still stands. 800mile batteries already exist for some high end EVs (Mostly in China, which is the leader in battery development technology), and BYD (I think) is about to release a new battery that will cost half the price of existing ones, with the realistic promise that this will likely drop in price by half again within the next two years. So, well done Toyota, now go back to the drawing board and try to catch up with an affordable and long range EV.
There is only one H2 station in my city and the cost of H2 is many times the cost of gasoline.
A hydrogen infrastructure would be 1000s of times more difficult than increasing the electric grid for EVs. Shell just closed all hydrogen stations in California, the only state you can by hydrogen cars. Best in Tesla channel said all hydrogen stations in Denmark have closed. Lastly, the cost of hydrogen in California is about double the cost of gasoline. If nothing else people will vote with their wallets like people do.
Exactly. Meanwhile, I can charge my EV at home on cheap overnight electricity and almost never use a public charger.
Evaporating water does not produce clean O2. You are just changing the physical state from a solid or liquid to a gas, it is still H2O not O2.
The most cost effective means to manufacture hydrogen is by burning methane(a fossil fuel) in a special chamber. So until we have a fusion reactor to produce cheap clean electric power, hydrogen will still use fossil fuels to be manufactured! Currently the price of H2 is prohibitive!! And very few filling stations. Cannot travel long distances as H2 stations are not frequent.
The Mirai is a great car.
All the fancy sales advertising words are just Bull "S" - tell us where to get fuel, more about the engine and how much reasonable range can one expect to enjoy.
More FUD videos full of vaporware.
... and pigs will fly. Right?
It's a fantastic car but how will it sell in a world where hydrogen isn't available? If you can't fuel it, you can't drive it.
You can fuel it, just can't drive very far from the hydrogen station.
The nearest hydrogen station is 123 kilometers north of here. That's not going to happen.
Just for fun I googled Toyota Mirai Cannonball Run. I couldn't find any record of such a thing.
I would rather drive a Tesla than the Toyota hydrogen
$220k for one of these in Australia. 😱
@@changeofseason8054these Toyotas are a waste of time, metal and energy.
Why? Hydrogen is far more environmentally friendly.
@@truth959 (PEM or alkaline electrolysis) which have an effective electrical efficiency of 70-82%, producing 1 kg of hydrogen (which has a specific energy of 143 MJ/kg or about 40 kWh/kg) requires 50-55 kWh of electricity. You can drive about 400km for 50kwh. A Fuel cell replacement is over $100k to replace and only good for 200k km.
Hydrogen energy density is 1/4 of gasoline and has the widest flammablility limit and it detonates readily. On top of this, storage system is heavy and hydrogen mostly comes from cracking oil. This is all PR.
Toyota's running scared. They know they're always going to be second best compared to Chinese battery technology, so they've compounded the error by investing billions in a dead-end street.
What a crock!
Another pipe dream from Toyota
The Mirai has been a financial disaster up to this point. It is the only Toyota to lose all its resale value (except maybe in Japan) when owners has to pay for the fuel. (Another confirmation that any video with "DESTROY" in the title is bogus,)
Hydrogen is a long way off in terms of cost and infrastructure. Maybe someday, but then maybe not.
when pigs fly
This is Toyota's delay scheme. Hydrogen won't work in combustion motor settings. Using it to power batteries is equally idiotic. None of this is new nor unresearched. Eitherchas all the overhead costs and dangers of storage and acquisition, plus all the maintenance of gas cars, then the problem of igniting hydrogen in cylinders, and all have special tanks to deal with. In addition to the insane cost of taking a hydrogen path, the vehicle's fuel tank empties in the garage while it sits as the hydrogen warms. Finally, so many people have thought about this, that you probably won't ever need to. You wouldn't pay for even the cheapest part of this costly hydrogen project.
What's with the awful AI voiceover, just random pauses everywhere. Script also sounds AI generated
No it won't
Why will it "DESTROY The Car Industry!"? No it won't. Where do you get the hydrogen? It will not purify the air, it will add water to it, yes not pollution (same with other zero emission), but it will rain down. It seems sodium-ion batteries will destroy the market for other kind of cars. Possibly in hybrid form though, or not, at first. This seems like a marketing video, these cars do not accelerate very fast, as battery cars are capable of, more than 3x slower. Hydrogen is an indirect pollutant. Yes, not a greenhouse gas directly, but if it leaks out, it is indirectly, as Nature paper shows. Plus the cheapest hydrogen, in most markets, comes from methane which gives you CO2, when you extract the hydrogen from it.
Every home can have a solar hydrogen plant! Like a generater... Every town...simple...cheap and fast to build... No need to pay the giant oil companies and polute the planet....
If only hydrogen storage was simple.🤔
hydrogen is a fuel more expensive than gasoline and far more ineffficent than BEV.
Hydrogen car is junk
Toyota styling look like FISH OUT OF THE WATER🐋🐟...😂
Toyota will go down the gurgler, just like Kodak, also CZcams talking nothing but 💩
You are so right...great work fella
I absoluteyl think there is serious potential for hydrogen powered vehicles, but only if and when we figure out the infrastructure of distributing and storing said hydrogen, before that a hydrogen powered car will be utterly useless!
And work out to overcome the fact that they are less than half as efficient than a standard EV.
Isn't ammonia ICE easier to do? Toyota have also designed an engine that runs on this.
