About Toyota Mirai FCEV
The Toyota Mirai, a second-generation hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle, generates electricity through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, producing only water vapour as a by-product. The FCEV offers a driving range of approximately 650 km and can be refueled in under five minutes, making it one of the most advanced and efficient zero-emission vehicles available globally.

By taking the Mirai ride, the ministers highlighted India’s focus on promoting green hydrogen and reducing carbon emissions in the transport sector. The initiative aligns with the government’s broader vision of sustainable and environmentally friendly mobility solutions, aiming to transition India towards cleaner transport alternatives.
Significance for India’s Clean Mobility Future
The event reflects India’s strategic push to adopt hydrogen as a viable energy source for vehicles. With government backing and increasing awareness, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are expected to play a critical role in reducing urban pollution and supporting India’s climate goals. This demonstration also encourages private and public sector investment in hydrogen infrastructure and vehicle deployment.
