New Internal combustion engine is prepared by the Japanese manufacturer Toyota. His specialty? Burn hydrogen!
At the moment, this concept car is only at the research stage, but marketing the following should be expected. We clearly stop technologies.
Hydrogen is at the heart of Toyota’s strategy
It is not first project that Toyota is taking on the concept of a hydrogen car. Indeed, when we look catalog from the Japanese manufacturer we come across the Mirai sedan.
More precisely, the second model of this range. This is a fuel cell electric car. Mirai neutralizes and destroys almost 95% pollutants contained in air.
Toyota continues to enter its evolution on the water with the Corolla Cross H2, the new Japanese concept car. This machine is equipped with a heat engine 1.6 turbo three cylinders. Hydrogen remains here source of energy but ends up burning like any fuel.
Faster transition to hydrogen
Why experiment with this technology? It’s just that combustion hydrogen allows use internal combustion engine components already existing
What would help the builders to fulfill transition much faster to hydrogen, as Toyota admits:
The Japanese manufacturer indicates that its new hydrogen engine is almost rejected no CO2 in the air.
Is the engine ready for 2035?
Motorsport fans already know this engine. Indeed, Toyota has already used this technology in competition.
During the Ypres Rally in Belgium, spectators were able to detect a GR Yaris H2 equipped with this new hydrogen engine.
And the good news: power and torque have been improved 24 and 33%. This means that these two parameters are present comparable to that contained in a gasoline engine usual.
Two concerns however: the weather and regulations in Europe that are coming. While Toyota was just performing half work, but not guaranteeing that this engine will not reject any pollutant in atmosphere.
However, to be able to sell a car in Europe from 2035, you will have to comply with the rules.
