Toyota will test a zero-emissions fuel cell bus in Tokyo this month | Inhabitat - Sustainable Design Innovation, Eco Architecture, Green Building
Toyota manufactured a zero-emission fuel-cell bus and is planning to take it for a week-long test drive on the streets of Tokyo, Japan. This public transportation vehicle is actually a blend of other existing technologies. The bones are based on a conventional Hino bus, which has a standard hybrid system, and then the people mover was retrofitted with a hydrogen fuel-cell setup similar to the one found in the Toyota Mirai. In order to begin evaluating the real world applications of this greener option, the bus will transport commuters on established routes around central Tokyo and the waterfront area for several days later this month.
