AKARTA- Toyota Astra Motor (TAM) to present the vehicle Fuel Cell Vehicle (FCV) hydrogen fuel in Indonesia International Motor Show 2014, in JIExpo, Kemayoran, Central Jakarta. To date, Toyota became the only automotive manufacturer to successfully develop hydrogen-fueled vehicles are ready for sale to the market. Toyota has developed a fuel cell device that generates electricity through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen to power the drive motor.
This technology is able to replace gasoline as fuel with hydrogen as an energy source that is environmentally friendly and can be produced from various raw materials. (read: Toyota FCV will be sold from the infrastructure ready)
This makes the use of hydrogen cars Toyota FCV completely environmentally friendly because there are no emissions (zero emission). Residual burning out in the form of water (H2O). Just like the Prius, FCV also use the Hybrid Synergy Drive technology. This hybrid technology has been applied in other Toyota vehicles like the Camry. Based on research conducted by Toyota, longer cruising capabilities on a single charge of fuel for a distance of about 700 km.
In addition, hydrogen refueling process is also much faster which is about 3 minutes to 5 minutes than charging an electric car. Charging period can quickly because it does not require a large tank for hydrogen to reach the distance that the gasoline engine.
Toyota uses a voltage adder technology that can produce three times more power than previous fuel cell components.
For comparison, a full tank of hydrogen fuel can provide the power supply of the house for one week. In terms of speed, the car is also not that far away, able to reach speeds of 0-100 km / h is achieved in 10 seconds. The maximum speed of 170 km / h.
