Doing Arts to Car

Hydrogen cars or fuel cells (fuel cells) are produced commercially soon. This was revealed after Toyota has lowered production costs making up 90 percent. With this, in turn, Toyota could sell hydrogen-fueled sedan at a price 50 000 United States dollars (U.S.) or the exchange rate is currently equivalent to USD 470 million.

Compared to five years ago, that price has fallen by half. It is narrated by Yoshihiko Masuda, Managing Director of Toyota for a sophisticated car, in an interview with Bloomberg.

Earlier world number one producer only managed to lose a tenth of the cost of hydrogen car production reached 1 million U.S. dollars. After the mass-produced, the price can be pressed again to half, as predicted now.

“Our target, do not want to loss when introducing a new car,” said Masuda in Torrence, Calif., Toyota’s sales center for the United States. “The production costs must be covered by the price of vehicles,” he added.

With the increasingly affordable prices, this will accelerate development of hydrogen cars which technology is still far behind compared to electric cars. Some manufacturers, like Toyota, General Motors, Honda, Daimler AG, and Hyundai Motor, are said ready to sell fuel cell cars at the retail to the public in 2015.

In order to make the of fuel cell car prices affordable, Toyota reduce the amount of platinum used. In addition, Toyota also has found a more easily way to produce a thin layer (film) on fuel cell and hydrogen tanks made from carbon fiber.

The advantage of hydrogen cars emits only water vapor. The distance is farther and the re-charger is faster than recharging the battery (electric cars). Shortcomings, charging stations are still scarce and the need for expensive infrastructure.

“Hydrogen is an abundant element in the Universe, we can use forever,” said California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger when opening a conference on hydrogen cars maintained by the National Hydrogen Asscociation in Long Beach.
