New Delhi: To promote green hydrogen and clean mobility in the country, Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy, Pralhad Joshi, and Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, on Tuesday took a joint ride in the Toyota Mirai Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) here.
Joshi drove the Mirai from Bharat Mandapam to the residence of Gadkari in the national capital, highlighting the government’s commitment to promoting green hydrogen and clean mobility in the country, said the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy in a statement.
The Toyota ‘Mirai’, a second-generation hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicle (FCEV), produces electricity through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, emitting only water vapour as a by-product.
With a driving range of approximately 650 km and a refuelling time of under five minutes, it is among the world’s most advanced and efficient zero-emission mobility solutions, according to the statement.
