13 of September. Japan started the serial production of the car without hydrocarbons, i.e. without gas and oil. The land of the rising sun announced the start of serial production model Mirai, running on hydrogen. This technology is a threat for the economies of commodity-dependent countries.
The largest Japanese car company Toyota began production of the sedan Mirai. The car has a hybrid engine Electrophotography. Energy to propel the vehicle is performed using the oxidative reaction of hydrogen in an electrochemical generator. The power of the electric motor makes 153 horsepower. Instead of harmful exhaust, the car produces clean water.
One refilling is enough for 650 kilometers. Our money filling the tank will cost 4 rubles and 15 kopecks (for comparison, a petrol car will eat about 1500 rubles). The cost of the innovative vehicle in Japan will be 60 thousand dollars. The government of Japan has already announced that all buyers of environmentally friendly cars will be subsidized in the amount of 17 thousand dollars.
However, not only Toyota plans to launch its hydrogen car. Competitor Toyota – Honda does not sleep. Honda plans to start selling the FCV model in 2016. Other competitors also do not think to keep up. South Korean automaker Hyundai plans to create a hydrogen car. Work on an eco-friendly car has already begun its plan to release to the Olympics in 2018, which will be held in South Korea.
However, not all countries support such technology. As informs "the Russian newspaper" referring to the senior researcher of the Institute of Economics Ivan Kapitonov, the American economy is very much linked with the internal combustion engines.
"Alternative energy and propulsion technologies will be able to provide strong economic competition internal combustion engines, which will greatly complicate the lives of the U.S. economy", - quotes the expert "the Russian newspaper".
If homes and vehicles are equipped with hydrogen generators, you will no longer need hydro and nuclear power, will not need transmission lines, which transmit electricity, cheaper metal. All this will lead to the emergence of many of the unemployed, ranging from geologists, ending electricians.
Meanwhile, not all experts agree that the future for hydrogen engines, as the development of engines with hydrogen fuel cells are extremely expensive.
The automakers themselves say that after 5 years in its model range will have at least one electrocar. The motors are easier to implement in mass production is not so expensive. The creation of a network of hydrogen filling stations require a lot more resources than the creation of a network elektronaradim stations.
