UToyota uzibophezele ekuboniseni ubuhle bobuchwepheshe beFuel Cell, futhi mhlawumbe yingakho bethathe obusha. Toyota Mirai ukwephula irekhodi lomhlaba.
Irekhodi okukhulunywa ngalo kwakuyibanga elide kunawo wonke elimbozwe nge-hydrogen eyodwa, etholwe ngemva kokuba i-Mirai ihlanganise i-1003 km emangalisa emigwaqweni yaseFrance ngaphandle kokukhipha umoya, futhi, ngaphandle kokugcwaliswa.
Esikhathini lapho, naphezu kokuvela okuqhubekayo kwamabhethri, ukuzimela kwamamodeli kagesi anamandla ebhethri kuqhubeka nokubangela izinsolo, irekhodi elitholwe abakwaMirai libonakala lifakazela ukuthi kungenzeka "ukushwabadela amakhilomitha" ngaphandle kokuphendukela ku- injini yomlilo.
"I-epic" ye-Mirai
Sekukonke, abashayeli abane babehilelekile ekuzuzeni leli rekhodi: UVictorien Erussard, umsunguli nokaputeni we-Energy Observer, isikebhe sokuqala esifakwe i-Toyota fuel cell; UJames Olden, unjiniyela kwaToyota Motor Europe; UMaxime le Hir, oyiMenenja yoMkhiqizo kwaToyota Mirai kanye noMarie Gadd, ubudlelwano bomphakathi kwaToyota France.
“I-adventure” yaqala ngo-5:43 ekuseni ngoMeyi 26 esiteshini se-hydrogen sase-HYSETCO e-Orly, lapho amathangi amathathu e-hydrogen eToyota Mirai enamandla angu-5.6 kg agqitshwa.
Kusukela lapho, i-Mirai ihlanganise i-1003 km ngaphandle kokufaka i-refueling, ifinyelela ukusetshenziswa kwesilinganiso esingu-0.55 kg/100 km (ye-hydrogen eluhlaza) ngenkathi ivala imigwaqo esifundeni esiseningizimu yeParis ezindaweni zaseLoir-et-Cher nase-Indre-et. -Loire.
Ukufakwa kukaphethiloli okokugcina ngaphambi kokuvala i-1003 km.
Kokubili ukusetshenziswa nebanga elihlanganisiwe kugunyazwe yibhizinisi elizimele. Naphezu kokwamukela isitayela "se-eco-driving", "abakhi" abane baleli rekhodi abazange basebenzise noma iyiphi inqubo ekhethekile engeke isetshenziswe ekuphileni kwansuku zonke.
Ekugcineni, futhi ngemva kokuphula irekhodi lomhlaba lebanga nge-hydrogen refueling, kuthathe imizuzu emihlanu kuphela ukuthi iToyota Mirai iphinde ifakwe uphethiloli futhi ilungele ukunikeza, okungenani, ukuzimela okungamakhilomitha angu-650 okumenyezelwe yinkampani yaseJapane.
Ihlelelwe ukufika ePortugal ngoSepthemba, iToyota Mirai uzobona amanani abo eqala ku-67 856 euro (55 168 euros + VAT uma kwenzeka ezinkampanini, njengoba le ntela idonswa ku-100%).
