As a test pilot, I knew that this new vehicle fuel cell would be really fun to drive and believe me, it is He has a low center of gravity, giving it momentum.
After surviving millions of miles on the test track and 10 years of testing on public roads in bitter cold and scorching heat.
And after working with local governments and researchers worldwide to ensure that it is easy and convenient to refuel.
The name we have given to our new car is Mirai, which means in Japanese future.
