* Five world premieres at Tokyo Motor Show **<\/strong><\/p>\n

Toyota Motor Corporation will present its latest hydrogen-powered fuel-cell vehicle (FCV) and four other world-premiere concepts at this month’s Tokyo Motor Show. The show was an excellent chance to assess <\/a>the new developments in the car market<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The FCV Concept \u2013 with a driving range and refuelling time equivalent to a conventional car \u2013 points to a production vehicle Toyota plans to launch around 2015.<\/p>\n

It will share the Tokyo limelight with Toyota’s FV2 (Fun Vehicle 2), a vehicle that connects physically and emotionally with the driver \u2013 even to the extent of being able to determine the driver’s mood and driving skill.<\/p>\n

Toyota will also unveil three cars targeted at the Japanese market \u2013 a next-generation taxi concept and two next-generation seven-seat minivans \u2013 one petrol and one hybrid.<\/p>\n

Among Toyota’s hero cars at the motor show \u2013 which begins on November 22 \u2013 is the first right-hand-drive FT86 Open concept based on the 86 sports car, featuring a new “Flash Red” body colour.<\/p>\n

Toyota said the world premiere concept vehicles convey Toyota’s vision of a future mobility society that values the joy of driving.<\/p>\n

It said the vehicles embody Toyota’s efforts to contribute positively to society while creating ever-better cars that exceed expectations.<\/p>\n

The fuel-cell concept vehicle, which can accommodate up to four occupants, has a driving range of at least 500km and can be refuelled in as little as three minutes.<\/p>\n

It uses Toyota’s proprietary small, lightweight fuel-cell stack and two 70MPa (MegaPascal) high-pressure hydrogen tanks.<\/p>\n

The fuel-cell stack has a power density of 3kW per litre, more than twice that of Toyota’s previous development vehicle which was based on a Kluger, and offers output of at least 100kW.<\/p>\n

In addition, the system is equipped with Toyota’s high-efficiency boost converter. Increasing the voltage has made it possible to reduce the size of the motor and the number of fuel cells, leading to a smaller system offering enhanced performance at reduced cost.<\/p>\n

Fully fuelled, the vehicle can provide enough electricity to meet the daily needs of an average Japanese house (10kWh) for more than a week, making it a good car of choice for purchase<\/a> in its homeland.<\/p>\n

The vehicle’s exterior design was intended to convey the key characteristics of a fuel-cell vehicle: converting air into water as the system produces electricity, and the powerful acceleration enabled by the electric drive motor.<\/p>\n

The bold front view features pronounced air intakes while the sleek side view has a “flowing liquid” door profile and wave-motif fuel cap. The rear was inspired by the stern of a catamaran.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
