Ready for Electric Cars Running on Hydrogen on the Roads?





According to Auto News the Japanese Automakers are Looking to Subsidize Hydrogen Station Operation Costs


Japan is already making plans to have their car industry become more of a “hydrogen society”. Toyota, Nissan and Honda motor companies are planning to help cover the cost of operating hydrogen stations throughout Japan. They plan to cover as much as one third of the operating expenses which will be capped at around 11 million yen ($90,000) per station. The program will run until about 2020 and cost an estimated 5 to 6 billion yen, said Kiyotaka Ise, senior managing officer at Toyota. 

The national and local governments of Japan have also said that they will subsidize the cost of operating these hydrogen stations. They’re doing this because they want to help popularize cars that are powered by hydrogen fuel cells and Japan plans on building hydrogen distribution facilities throughout the country to help encourage the next generation of other technology. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has said the nation will create a “hydrogen society,” with the hydrogen fuel cell also powering homes and office buildings.

“Fuel-cell vehicles running on hydrogen are electric vehicles without the compromises, such as range anxiety and long waits in front of charging stations,” Thanh Ha Pham, a Tokyo-based analyst at Jefferies Group LLC, said in a report. “We expect increasing focus on this technology.” It is estimated that Japan’s market for vehicles using hydrogen is expected to grow to almost ¥100 billion by fiscal year 2025. Toyota is way ahead of the game since last year they had already introduced the Mirai, a fuel cell car and Honda plans to put one out themselves this fiscal year. The world is changing fast but if you’re ready to keep up with the latest trends and you’re ready to have your very own fuel cell car delivered to your door then use a quality car transport company to transport your vehicle.
