The
Toyota FCHV is a series of prototypes of a hydrogen - fuel cell vehicle. The abbreviation "FCHV" stands for "Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle" literally "fuel cell hybrid vehicle." The hybrid may here not to be confused with hybrids with a combustion engine, but the FCHV already be researched electric cars equipped with a fuel cell stack.
These vehicles put an accumulator not only as a buffer, which is charged during braking and during the subsequent restart for additional propulsive force to ensure, but the battery is the main power storage device and can be over a wide range, the only power source during driving.
For low energy accumulator can be loaded via the fuel cell. This concept is found in other fuel cell vehicles meanwhile, since it is essentially a special control unit between the electric motor and the combination of a large battery is a fuel cell.
Between 2010 and 2013, Toyota will be introducing over 100 FCHV-adv vehicles to "universities, private companies and government agencies as well as government agencies in both California and New York." This will allow an infrastructure of awareness of fuell cell technology to grow until the market release in 2015.
