Sales record for the first production car powered by hydrogen!

Toyota has surpassed itself! The first hydrogen-powered production car has exceeded all sales records. Even the skeptics will remain convinced that the new model is a success.

A few months ago Toyota presented the Mirai model, the first car in the world powered by hydrogen. The engine develops 155 hp that allows him to accelerate to the first 100km in "only" nine seconds, and to supply the full tank you can enjoy a range of 483 km! Even if the car's price is not modest, the US $ 57,500, the sales of the new model have exceeded all expectations. The 700 units planned for 2015 have already been sold!

Regardless of the success that the Mirai model registered, the Japanese have decided to increase production. Thus, for logistical reasons, the quota for 2015 will remain intact, 700 units. But in 2016 will be produced 2,000 units and 3,000 in 2017.

If the demand for Mirai will increase, the manufacturer declares that production will be increased as needed.

Even if the figure of 3000 units is not impressive, let's not forget that the number of cars manufacture is affected by the lack of infrastructure. The owners of these cars must have access to a network of hydrogen fueling stations that are missing at the moment and developing a network will take time.

However, the manufacturer declares that shortly this impediment and will be removed with the popularity of the car.
