Mirai mass-produced vehicles appear at the Expo. Toyota wants hydrogen fuel and pure electric?

2021-11-08

On November 5, Toyota Mirai mass production model appeared in the 4th China International Import Expo. As a representative model of hydrogen energy vehicles valued by Toyota, Toyota Mirai adopts hydrogen fuel power system, with a maximum range of 850km. At present, it has been sold in Japan, and the price of five models is between 445000-505000 yuan.

In early June this year, Toyota carried out a endurance test with the new Mirai in Paris. The 5-minute hydrogenation endurance was 1003km, equivalent to 0.55kg of hydrogen consumption per 100km. According to the domestic price, the cost of hydrogen fuel per kilogram is about 30 yuan, that is, the cost of Mirai driving 100 kilometers is only 16.5 yuan. It not only helps to achieve carbon emission targets, but also saves costs. No wonder Toyota has been holding on to hydrogen vehicles.

As the world is vigorously developing small new energy vehicles, Toyota is betting on the field of hydrogen fuel cells, but ignores the potential of Electric Vehicles. The rise of electric vehicles in the past two years has caught Toyota unprepared, especially in the environment of chip shortage. Not only in Japan, but also in China, the world's largest automobile market, Toyota fuel vehicles have also fallen into the dilemma of falling for several months. Honda, Nissan and other Japanese car enterprises also have a similar situation, so it is imperative to develop electric vehicles.

On October 13, Honda China officially announced its electrification strategy. It plans to launch only pure electric vehicles and hybrid models in the Chinese market after 2030, and fuel vehicles will withdraw from the historical stage. At the same time, the new Honda pure electric brand "E: n" was launched, and three concept cars appeared together. The first batch of models will be launched as soon as the first quarter of next year.

Honda didn't even build a real electric platform, so it hurried to layout electric vehicles, and Toyota couldn't hold its breath anymore. At the Expo, Toyota's pure electric vehicle bz4x based on e-tnga platform was officially unveiled. Previously, the concept model of this car was launched at the Shanghai auto show. This bz4x directly aims at mass production and 100% restores the concept car.

The motor of bz4x electric vehicle has a maximum power of 150KW and a endurance of 500km under wltc condition. According to Toyota, its power battery capacity can decay less than 10% in 10 years, which is the highest level in the industry. Moreover, the car also provides a panoramic skylight with solar panels, which can provide a range of 1800 kilometers per year. The appearance of bz4x means that Toyota has officially launched the electric vehicle market and is ready to pull the decline of fuel vehicles in the international market.
