Turbocharged Toyota Corolla Cross H2 Hydrogen Concept Has A GR Corolla Heart | Carscoops carscoops
several carmakers convinced that there’s no single zero-emissions solution to the world’s clean fuel quest. While some rivals are throwing all their efforts behind electric power, Toyota is developing both hydrogen fuel cell and hydrogen-powered combustion engines alongside EVs and hybrids.and now the carmaker has transplanted that tech into a more practical five-seat SUV to create the Toyota Corolla Cross H2 hydrogen concept.
The prototype features a hydrogen tank from Toyota’s Mirai sedan. But where the Mirai is a fuel cell vehicle that turns hydrogen into electricity, this concept uses a conventional combustion engine adapted to run on hydrogen instead of gasoline. The engine is the 1.6-liter turbocharged triple from, whose power Toyota was able to increase by 24 percent during the course of the Super Taikyu racing season, eventually matching the 300 hp of a gas-powered GR Corolla.
As yet there’s no date for that event, Toyota claiming it is “around 40 percent” along the path to putting vehicles likein showrooms. But the company clearly believes hydrogen has a future, highlighting its quick refueling times and the fact that, unlike EVs, hydrogen-powered combustion cars don’t rely on materials like lithium and nickel, which can leave the planet in a mess when they’re mined.
