TOKYO – Toyota Motor Corp. unveiled an upgraded fuel-cell vehicle that successfully completed a 350-mile test run, proving its ability to run a longer distance than its earlier model, according to MSNBC and the Associated Press.
The latest model could have gone 480 miles with a single fueling, more than double the mileage achieved by Toyota’s earlier model. The advanced vehicle is 25-percent more fuel efficient than the earlier model and can store twice as much hydrogen as before. In a public road test, two advanced fuel-cell vehicles were driven about 350 miles from Osaka to Tokyo without refueling. About 30 percent of the fuel was unused when they arrived in Tokyo, the report said.
