Air purifier on the H2O button!3 functions of "FCV only" by Toyota Mirai (page 1/2)

Equipped with a function that cleans the air instead of polluting it

FCV that can be said to be the "ultimate eco-car" that uses hydrogen to generate electricity and emits only water ( fuel cell vehicle). In Japan, Toyota's Mirai and Honda's Clarity are representative models, but in 2020, the Mirai was fully remodeled and became the second generation, and its elegant styling and advanced functions attracted attention.

However, there are many people who do not really understand what is so great about hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and how they differ from EVs and gasoline vehicles. From the point of view of usage, since hydrogen is filled into the tank of the vehicle at the hydrogen station, there is no need to charge it for a long time like an EV, and it is convenient because it takes about the same amount of time and effort as refueling a gasoline car. And while driving, hydrogen and air are mixed inside the vehicle to generate electricity, and the stored electricity is used to drive, so you can get a powerful, quiet and smooth driving feel like an EV. It looks like you got the best of both worlds.

From here, I would like to specifically introduce the distinctive functions of the new Mirai.

First of all, until now, eco-cars such as EVs have been aiming for "zero emissions", which means that they do not emit exhaust gases that pollute the earth when they run. For the first time as Toyota, we have set up a "negative emission" that cleans the air. In other words, the Mirai is equipped with an air purification system that takes advantage of the unique characteristics of FCVs that take in and exhaust a lot of air during driving for power generation!

The air cleaner element acts as a dust filter, capturing even fine particles of PM2.5 level, and the chemical filter removes harmful chemicals and suppresses the generation of PM2.5. It's kind of nice to be able to check the amount of air cleaned by running with the air purification meter "Air Purification" displayed on the center display. The more the new Mirai runs, the cleaner the air becomes. It seems that the new Mirai can be said to be a running air purifier.
