TOYOTA INTRODUCES FIRST FUEL CELL FOR TESTING ON U.S. ROADS
As the latest example of its ongoing commitment to expand technology for environmentally friendly cars and trucks, Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) demonstrated a space-age fuel cell vehicle today that generates its own on-board electricity with compressed hydrogen. The company's new zero-emissions FCHV-4 was put through its paces at the Toyota Technical Center here for the news media, environmental leaders and government officials. FCHV is short for "fuel cell hybrid vehicle," and represents the automaker's next step in hybrid technology, which is available today in the Toyota Prius sedan.
