The launch of the new Mirai took place online
On December 9, Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. made an online presentation of the new FCV (Fuel Cell Vehicle) “MIRAI”, which was completely redesigned for a complete model change.
First came Mr. Maeda, Chief Technology Officer, and first, in a government statement of faith on October 26, the total CO2 emissions and removals from the time the product was manufactured until it was abandoned. they returned more or less zero. He mentioned that the policy objective “Carbon Neutral Declaration 2050” was established to achieve “Carbon Neutral” by 2050, and for this various things were established such as not emitting, reducing, recovering and reusing CO2. He introduced that it is necessary to advance the method, and clean energy is required to perform such a cycle, and “hydrogen” plays an important role as one of them.
Mr. Akihiko Maeda, CTO of Toyota Motor Co., Ltd.
First, hydrogen does not generate CO2 when used and can be produced from various resources such as fossil fuels, by-products from chemical factories, sewage sludge and brown coal, and water decomposition. Furthermore, unlike renewable energies such as wind power generation and solar power generation, which are easily affected by the natural environment, it can be easily stored and transported, and it is easy to build an energy society of the optimal size for each. region. I mentioned three merits.
In March 2020, he mentioned that the world’s largest hydrogen production facility using solar energy was opened in Namie Town, Fukushima Prefecture, and announced a large-scale investment in hydrogen in Europe, and China has already commercialized vehicles. He explained that hydrogen mobility has become widespread, the government has declared it carbon neutral and is actively building a hydrogen society. He also thinks that this series of flows is due to hydrogen being an Earth-friendly energy.
New Mirai equipped with second generation FC system
As President Toyoda said in the interim financial results announcement, “What is required of us now is to take actions that lead to the happiness of humanity, including the global environment,” Toyota is simply “people.” It will play a central role in promoting electrification strategies in all directions, including HV (hybrid), PHV (plug-in hybrid), EV (electric vehicle) and FCV (fuel cell vehicle).

Planned implementation of the second generation FC system
Here in 2014, he launched the world’s first mass-produced FCV, the first Mirai, and reported that he had learned a lot by discovering and solving various problems. Furthermore, since that time, FC systems had been diverted to forklifts, buses, trucks, railways, ships, industrial generators, etc., but the original system could not be widely diverted and did not have the power to accelerate the completion of a hydrogen society. People say that
Therefore, to overcome the problems so far, the new second-generation Mirai has been developed under the assumption that it will increase its production capacity by approximately 10 times, improve the performance of hydrogen-related technology, and divert it to various forms of mobility that support society. He revealed that he had made progress and said that he believed this trend would be Toyota’s role and lead to “mass production of happiness.”
Toyota also participates in the Hydrogen Value Chain Promotion Council
Finally, to realize a hydrogen society, it is essential to reduce costs at all stages of “creation”, “transport” and “use”, and for that purpose, not only one company, but also the corporate efforts of each company. and the cooperation of the whole industry. Since cooperation, hydrogen supply, and demand expansion are also required, it was reported again that we participated in the “Japan Hydrogen Association (JH2A)” on December 7. He concluded that he would make an effort to make the new Mirai the “starting point” of the hydrogen society.
