The Future is here and Akio Toyoda said he has seen it. It is called “Mirai.” In Japanese, “Mirai” means “future” and represents a turning point for the auto industry. Toyota’s President announced the new fuel cell vehicle in a video Nov. 17. The groundbreaking vehicle was on display at the LA Auto Show.
In making the announcement, Toyoda said, “Today, we are at a turning point in automotive industry—A turning point where people will embrace a new environmentally-friendly car that is a pleasure to drive.” He continued, “a turning point where a four-door sedan can travel 300 miles on a single tank of hydrogen, can be refueled in under five minutes and emit only water vapor.”
He said the vehicle is a “turning point that represents many years and countless hours of work by our team to create a car that redefines that industry.” He said everyone at Toyota believes the future will be safer, greener and easier for everyone.
Toyoda said the automotive company imagined a world filled with vehicles that would diminish the dependence on oil and reduce harm to the environment.
