Toyota continues to advance its technology across various sectors, including internal combustion engines, hybrid systems, and electric vehicles.

The company actively develops alternative propulsion technologies through endurance racing events like Japan’s Super Taikyu Series. It also focuses on research into direct hydrogen combustion and environmentally friendly fuels such as cellulose nanofiber (CNF).

Toyota has announced plans to accelerate research and development in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, reaffirming its commitment to meeting diverse global market demands.

As part of this initiative, Toyota has introduced its third-generation hydrogen fuel cell system (3rd Gen FC). This new system’s key features include enhanced durability and improved maintenance efficiency.

The new system also delivers better driving efficiency, a crucial factor for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. According to Toyota, the 3rd Gen FC system achieves approximately 20% greater efficiency than its predecessor.

While the second-generation Mirai offers a driving range of 643 km (399 miles) on a single charge, the 3rd Gen FC system is expected to extend this range to 768 km (477 miles).

Toyota also highlighted the new system’s improved cost-effectiveness. Although specific production costs were not disclosed, the company stated that material sourcing and assembly efficiency improvements have made the manufacturing process more economical than the previous system.

Toyota plans to introduce vehicles with the 3rd Gen FC system starting in 2026.
