Toyota Motors launches the completely redesigned new “Mirai” fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV). The all-new Toyota Mirai is available from Toyota vehicle dealers starting December 9.
FCEVs run on hydrogen, a fuel that can be produced from various energy sources and contributes to the preservation of the global environment and reinforcing energy security.

The new Toyota Mirai will serve as a new departure point for creating a hydrogen-based society of the future.
