The big thing was the unveiling of the new Lexus LX, but the first thing that caught the eye at the latest Lexus event was the announcement of a small hydrogen powered all-terrain prototype.
Here's the Lexus Off-Highway Recreational Vehicle Concept. Yes, the official name of this conceptual model is exactly that.
Eager to demonstrate the possibilities of hydrogen as a sustainable mobility solution, Lexus presented a small buggy — with a very striking bronze color — whose propulsion system is powered by this alternative fuel.
This model, which helps reinforce Lexus and Toyota's commitment to hydrogen, has a combustion engine modified to run on this type of fuel and, as with the Toyota Mirai, the only thing it generates is … Water.
During the presentation of this prototype the Japanese brand did not reveal many more technical details about this adventurous model, but showed a video (below) where you can see the Lexus Off-Highway Recreational Vehicle Concept “attacking” several dirt roads and “decorating” up” with mud.
bet on hydrogen
It should be remembered that Toyota is committed to boosting the use of hydrogen as a fuel source and this is something that has even been materialized with the launch on the market of the Mirai, a hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle that recently entered the market. Guinness after covering 1360 km without stopping to refuel.
The Mirai, which Guilherme has already driven on Portuguese roads, has been on sale in Portugal since last September with prices starting at 67,856 euros.
