Prototype testing for Toyota s new zero-emissions semi-truck is about to begin.
This week, Toyota gave us a glimpse of its first-ever EV based on a new platform that will take on the Tesla Model Y. As part of its pledge to reduce emissions and become carbon-neutral by 2050, the Japanese automaker is also leading the hydrogen fuel cell market. With its stunning styling and impressive 400-mile range, the new 2021 Toyota Mirai has the potential to be a viable alternative to electric cars. Toyota s next-generation fuel-cell technology will also power a fleet of heavy-duty trucks developed as part of a $41 million grant awarded by the California Air Resources Board.
