Toyota Motor Corporation announced it will begin sales of fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) within the 2014 fiscal year with a sedan-sized model starting at ¥7 million. Honda has already announced it will begin sales in both Japan and the US in 2015, so this move will most likely make Toyota the first automaker in the world to start selling FCVs. According to Toyota, its FCVs can be refuelled with hydrogen in about three minutes and will be able to drive about 700km on a full tank. For the time being, sales will be concentrated in the cities where hydrogen refuelling stations are slated for installation, namely, Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka and Fukuoka. Toyota plans to rollout FCVs in the US and Europe sometime next summer. Source: Nishinippon Shimbun 6/30
