For more than twenty years, Toyota has been at the forefront of the movement toward cleaner, more efficient vehicles. In fact, just this month Toyota Motor was the only automotive company to be named to Fortune Magazine’s Change the World List for the second time in just three years.
It’s no secret that the Prius, Toyota’s best-selling hybrid car, has dramatically changed the world on its way to landing Toyota on the 2015 version of this list. But the reason for this year’s distinction boils down to one word: Hydrogen.
With its eyes toward a more sustainable, zero-emissions future, Toyota is making the world a better place — one vehicle at a time. Here’s how they’re doing it.
How Hydrogen Puts the ‘H’ in High-Performing
Hydrogen fuel-cell technology has been used to power generators, space crafts, forklifts, and submarines. So why not cars?
Good question. Hydrogen is a highly abundant resource and can be harnessed for cars in three ways: steam reforming, gasification, and electrolysis. But what makes Hydrogen a superior fuel source?
Better range
Hydrogen fuel cells allow for more miles from a single charge than gas and electric vehicles.
Faster charge
Vehicles powered by Hydrogen refuel more quickly than their electric counterparts.
Better for the environment
Unlike gas, Hydrogen is carbon-free and more eco-friendly.
