It is not; a mystery that Toyota believes a lot in Fuel Cell technology in which it is investing heavily in various fields. The Japanese carmaker markets the Mirai, a sedan that on paper has a range of up to 650 km. Precisely this model & egrave; was the protagonist of a record that & egrave; officially entered the Guinness World Records . The car, in fact, is was able to travel 845.3 miles (1,360 km) on a single tank of hydrogen.

HYPERMILING TECHNIQUES Fuel sedan Toyota Cell has consumed 5.65 kg of hydrogen emitting only water vapor. The record attempt is & egrave; held on 23 and 24 August 2021 on the roads of California. The journey is; started exactly from the Toyota Technical Center (TTC) in Gardena, California. Driving Wayne Gerdes and Bob Winger who took turns at the wheel. The Japanese manufacturer has highlighted an important fact and that is; that these two pilots are experts in hypermiling techniques .

This means that specific driving techniques have been adopted which have made it possible to improve efficiency and therefore drastically reduce consumption. On the first day of the journey, 473 miles (761 km) were covered via Santa Monica and Malibu beach before returning to Gardena's TTC. On the second day, the car traveled 372 miles (598 km) through traffic until the hydrogen ran out. out of stock.

The whole trip is was carefully monitored by the Guinness World Records judges who were finally able to officially certify the result.

Even if Toyota is not & egrave; entered into the details, the driving style adopted by the two pilots & egrave; very difficult to replicate in everyday driving. For the automaker, hydrogen can offer mobility with zero emissions, not only for road transport, but also for trains, boats and airplanes, and to generate energy for industries, companies and for domestic use.
