Toyota has commissioned Yamaha Motor to develop a hydrogen-fueled engine.
According to the company, the GR Yaris uses the same powertrain as a hydrogen-powered Corolla Sport. The firm has labeled both of these vehicles as "experimental."have also produced vehicles such as the BMW Hydrogen 7. According to the German automaker, the Hydrogen 7 used an internal combustion engine and was able to run on gasoline or liquid hydrogen. Production of the vehicle began in 2006 and a limited run was made.
Using hydrogen to power an internal combustion engine is different to hydrogen fuel cell technology, where gas from a tank mixes with oxygen, producing electricity. As the U.S. Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels Data Center notes, fuel cell vehicles emit "only water vapor and warm air." By contrast, hydrogen ICEs do produce emissions. "Hydrogen engines release near zero, trace amounts of CO2 … but can produce nitrogen oxides, or NOx,"Hydrogen ICEs are also "less efficient" compared to fuel cell electric vehicles, according to the Alternative Fuels Data Center., BMW and Toyota have all developed cars based on the technology, others within the industry have taken a different view.
