Toyota to out fuel cell bus in Japan next year

Toyota’s newest hydrogen fuel cell-powered bus isn’t a new sedan or crossover SUV; it’s a bus meant for public transportation—specifically it’s being targeted for use during the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics. The zero-emission bus makes use of the same technology seen in the new Mirai fuel cell sedan. It comes with up to 10 tanks that can store 600 liters of highly pressurized H2. This lets it produce 235kWh of power, which is said to be roughly three times what the Tesla Model S can release. The bus is part of Toyota’s push to use hydrogen more. The Japanese car manufacturer considers this as “a powerful source of energy for the future.”

Aside from being a powerful fuel cell bus, it can even act as an external power generator that can be used to power things like evacuation sites and even for home appliances during widespread power outages. Toyota plans to sell these buses starting next year and it hopes to have a fleet of 100 or so running by the year 2020.
