With 18% of the worlds carbon dioxide production created by the 850 million vehicles driven on our planet, Toyota continues to develop and improve their fuel cell vehicle technology with the ultimate aim of making eco-friendly cars available to everyone. The FCHV features a cruising distance of 466 miles on one charge, over double compared to the 205 miles of the previous version, has a maximum speed of 96 Mph, and weighs 4136 pounds. Toyota have improved the fuel efficiency of their fuel cell power-train by refining the design of their stack and improving the control software for the stack and the battery charging system. The previous 5,000 psi hydrogen tanks have also been replaced by new 10,000 psi tanks allowing more hydrogen to be stored on board. Not only is toyota making steady progress in research and development relating to cruising distance, low-temperature starts, durability and reduced costs, they are also currently working in conjunction with the japanese government and energy companies to develop the supply infrastructure to support this technology. The Toyota Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle will be available for a test drive at this years Tokyo Motor Show, to be held in October.
Ill put a good stereo in it and itll run 15 minutes max.

10,000 PSI tanks that sounds dangerous and could cause a massive explosion if it malfunctioned.

hho stored in a hydride pellot form in explosion proof tanks can be sawed in half and lit on fire and will smolder like a ciggarette 4 small scuba type tanks would get an suv 400 miles and a solar powered recharging station can be used and the loss of capacity in the tanks over 5 years is a very low percentage. google united nuclear. or bob lazaar hydrogen videos on yt.

The problem is the source of the hydrogen which is usually from fossil fuel and thus the cost associated with fossil fuel some are working to run the normal engine directly from gas produced by the disassociation of water into its hho components the difficulty is being able to produce the volume on demand needed to run the engine hho gas works very well to increase todays fuel mileage.with fuel cells cost of the fuel is still a problem and the pollution and energy expended to produce the gas

As much as I dislike Toyota, their engineers aren't complete morons. In a high-risk situation such as a hydrogen storage tank, they would have applied a factor of safety of at least 4, so you can count on the tanks being able to withstand 2758 bar, in addition, many of the new tanks are carbon fibre (don't know about this one in particular), and in the event of the tank being compromised, it would crack, and vent the hydrogen rather than explode.

10,000 PSI? No thank you. That's a huge bomb.
You will not survive if it ever blows up and it only takes once. That's just fucking crazy.

I have attended the Exposition & Conferences Internationales Vehicules Ecologiques & Energies Renouvelables of EVER MONACO 2007.
Toyota is the only VM to sell full HEVs in Europe and thus accounted for all sales of full HEVs in 2006.
Toyota's hybrid vehicles have been marketed aggressively, especially performance-oriented vehicles such as the Lexus RX400h and the Lexus GS450h.
Toyota - Lexus and Prius were the pioneered VM fully hybrid cars.
Keep it up Toyota :) (my 1st car anyway)
