Europe’s first Toyota Mirai fuel cell vehicles have arrived in Portbury, near Bristol.
The mass-produced fuel cell saloon will be introduced into selected European markets, including the UK, Germany and Denmark, where hydrogen infrastructure is starting to be developed.
The first few models to land in the UK have already been purchased, primarily by business and corporate customers. Toyota hopes the experiences of the first Mirai customers will help to further refine the technology for European roads.
Karl Schlicht, executive vice president Toyota Motor Europe, said: “This marks the debut of a new age for clean mobility, a turning point in the history of the automobile. With Mirai and its fuel cell technology, Toyota is working on delivering clean, safe and enjoyable mobility for the next 100 years. We are looking forward to the start of deliveries of the first Mirai to customers from September and to see the future taking shape on European roads.
“As with Prius 15 years ago, we are proud to bring yet another ground-breaking innovation to the marketplace.”
