Toyota announces mass production start of fuel cell car

It is now known that the Toyota Motors has planned to start the mass production of the fuel cell car assumed as the favorite of the next generation eco-friendly car during the middle of December.

They are also investigating to accelerate the sales within the year 2014, instead of the planned launch around 2015. It is believed that the price of one fuel cell car will be about US$78,000 (8 million yen).

The fuel cell car is produced on the scale of about 10 cars/month at the factory in Toyota City of Aichi Prefecture.
The plan is to increase the sales by reducing the price to about US$ 30000~48000 (3 ~ 5 million yen) in the 20's, and also to increase the production scale to thousands of cars per year.




However, the establishment of the hydrogen station to refill the hydrogen, the fuel for the car, is not progressing, and is becoming the biggest obstacle for the sales expansion.
