Toyota hydrogen testing

Figured it would be of interest here.

 

Sure, and pigs know how to fly

 

I read that story earlier today and was going to post about it, but didn't. I noticed they're using the Hilux to test it out on.

I'd go hydrogen over EV any day. How about you @Cpl. Punishment ?

 

While I do like the idea, I'd add extra thick skid plates for certain areas.

 

For sure. Same if it were electric. Lithium and water are a fun combo.

 

Toyota has hydrogen fuel cell buses in Japan for years so they know how to do heavy vehicle HFCV.

 

Toyota has had hydrogen powered car, called the Miria in Californian NY and Canada for a few years now.

 

That's because its much easier than full electric. Too bad it's a dead end technology.

 

Well to me BEV is the in between to HFCV. If both technologies were the choice, I'd go hydrogen.

 

Absolutely!

 

It's only dead if politicians and lobbyists kill it.

 

Follow the money.

 

Where does the hydrogen come from?

 

Water

 

I am curious what is your reason for preferring hydrogen over battery?

 

Are you sure that's how hydrogen is currently generated?

 

I guess I didn't realize you were asking how is was generated, just where it comes from. There are multiple ways to generate hydrogen from water.

 

There are, but since it takes more energy to split the hydrogen from water than is contained in the hydrogen, currently almost all hydrogen is created from natural gas.
