Last month, the chief of Japan’s Toyota Motors, Akio Toyoda, attended a race that demonstrated an experimental hydrogen vehicle. The vehicle contained a traditional gasoline-powered engine that had been converted to run on hydrogen.Toyoda told reporters at the event such conversions could keep traditional internal combustion engines running in a carbon-free world. This, he said, could avoid the need to completely leave behind internal combustion and save millions of auto industry jobs."The enemy is carbon, not internal combustion engines,” Toyoda said. “We shouldn't just focus on one technology but make use of the technologies we already possess."Toyota recently launched the second-generation model of its Mirai hydrogen vehicle and has plans to offer several more models in the coming years.In Germany, BMW and Volkswagen Group are both developing hydrogen-powered passenger vehicles along with a series of new EVs.
