Toyota spending another 20 billion yen, produce more Mirai


The last number of pre-orders for the 2016 Toyota Mirai (fuel cell vehicles - hydrogen) in the United States is about 200. But the demand is so strong that Toyota says that it will spend 20 billion yen ($ 168 million US) to expand annual production capacity in "Secret workshop "Mirai where they will be built from 700 in the first year (2015) to approximately 2,000 units thereafter.

Japanese newspaper Nikkei reported an increase in demand and also said an Mirai sales expectations for the first few years: 400 in Japan at the end of 2015, 200 or 300 in the United States in 2015 (and then to 3,000 by the end of 2017) and between 50 and 100 units in Europe every year starting around 2016. by making all this hydrogen car, Toyota will add two lines to the factory where the fuel cell stack and tanks constructed and it will also increase the installation location.

In the United States, at an early stage Mirai will only be sold in California next year and will start at a price of $ 57.500 or rent / lease at a price of $ 499 per month for 36 months (with an additional $ 3.649 during signing of the contract). Toyota has already entered the price of hydrogen fuel to "three years" in the price, because there is no longer a party that knows how to accurately measure the quantity of H2 and sell it.
