this

mean we're about to see one of the biggest changes in the automotive landscape? Let's find out before we can take a look at what the Toyota CEO revealed. Let's first go back and understand where they are. have come when it comes to the fast-paced world of automobiles, Toyota is making one of the boldest claims and has the entire EV industry buzzing with pure anticipation to understand what we are talking about.

Imagine an innovative engine that leaves even the most dedicated automobile. enthusiasts on YouTube completely speechless and electrified, this new engine is a real game. Cher, not long ago Toyota announced the development of a new hydrogen combustion engine, however this is not like any other hydrogen combustion engine, unlike other car manufacturers that have gone fully electric. decided to take a completely new path, they have created a completely new technology that we have never seen before, just as its name says, the hydrogen combustion engine uses hydrogen as its main fuel source, unlike other engines that emit carbon dioxide. carbon as a byproduct. this emits water from its exhaust pipe this is Toyota's approach to minimizing the carbon footprint around the world, but let's delve into the engine, as we have already seen, Toyota has taken a completely different route to reduce its carbon footprint in Everyone instead of following the trend of electric vehicles has decided to go with a hydrogen combustion engine.

Hydrogen is one of the most abundant elements in the universe, it has the highest specific energy density of any non-nuclear energy source when used as fuel, it contains no exhaust gases and is non-toxic, since even its byproducts They are just water. Given its composition, it can be created using many sources, stored indefinitely, and even easily sent. You may not know it, but millions of tons of hydrogen are produced and used without incident every year. It is already used as a source of energy in some buildings, electric cars, forklifts, boats and even trains. Yes, not everything you see runs on gasoline.

Toyota's hydrogen combustion engine uses a fuel cell that converts hydrogen into electricity, take for example the The Toyota Corolla cross H2 concept car comes with a 1.6L turbocharged three-cylinder engine that runs exclusively on hydrogen, but how did it Toyota to make this a reality? Well, let's say this was the point where Toyota started revolutionizing the entire electric vehicle industry with these new ones. engines that the entire electric vehicle industry was about to change and would never be the same again keep watching to find out how they do it Toyota uses thick armored fuel tanks to store the highly flammable hydrogen fuel, this idea was taken from their fcev the meai however It doesn't have to be too big, the Corolla cross H2 concept car only uses only 5 kg of hydrogen and this is enough to give it a range of about 300 Mi and what about its by-product?

It only produces 50 L of water and lastly proven water is not that bad for the environment unlike carbon dioxide, to further improve this concept. Toyota has partnered with Yamaha Motor to create a V8 engine that runs solely on hydrogen. This engine is quite powerful producing around 455 horsepower and 3.98 lb-ft of torque just to highlight it, they also added an 8:1 top mounted exhaust manifold which creates a pretty unique high frequency sound . When comparing Toyota's hydrogen combustion engine to other electric vehicles, the hydrogen engine has many advantages. The main advantage is that it has a longer range and refueling is as fast as a drag race.

Achieving this reduces the need for limited supply materials such as lithium and nickel, all of which are critical to manufacturing electric vehicle batteries, although this car uses a battery to store some energy and is not as big like an electric vehicle battery. In the last quarter of 20123, the Corolla cross H2 concept car was undergoing real evaluation and testing of winter road conditions in northern Japan and so far there have been very positive reviews about it overall, the new engine Toyota's hydrogen combustion engine is a real Cher play when it comes to the automotive industry, it has to be one of the greenest engines that produces only water as a by-product, plus it also has a longer range. faster refueling times and reduces the need for limited supplies of materials.

We've yet to find out how real-world testing goes, but it won't be long before we start seeing these cars on the road if the hydrogen-powered engine were to catch on with the Japanese. The government plans to have around 200,000 fuel cell-powered vehicles on the roads by 2025, which is in a year. Furthermore, they plan to add all this up to 800,000 by 2030 to support this, needless to say they have to build more filling stations. Across the country we have already seen that the hydrogen combustion engine is unlike any other, but what about the pros and cons of this engine?

Well, let's start with the pros. The first, which is also the most obvious, is that it is very ecological. Friendly engine since it uses hydrogen as a fuel source, it has no harmful byproducts as we have said, in addition, hydrogen is a clean fuel on its own compared to traditional gasoline engines. The second advantage is that this engine has a very effective effect. cooling system The innovative water cooling system addresses one of the main challenges of an engine, which is high temperatures. This system that comes with hydrogen combustion engines potentially improves engine performance and longevity. This means that problems such as overheating would be very rare if the engine were to be used in the real world and as we all know, that is something that would really save many drivers.

The third most common advantage is that this engine uses a completely familiar technology, since the engine mainly operates with a system similar to traditional engines. It is easier to integrate this engine into other automotive design and manufacturing processes. This is a big advantage for Toyota because they can modify some of their other cars to integrate this engine. This engine has clearly highlighted some strong points when it comes to its advantages, however, nothing is like that. without its disadvantages and the first disadvantage is the hydrogen production and infrastructure, we have already seen that the engine is more than ecological, however, what many people do not know is that this depends entirely on how the hydrogen is produced in the In this At the moment, although there is widespread production of hydrogen, it is not always sustainable, therefore, if these cars are to be produced in large quantities, the car manufacturer has to first figure out how to address this problem, since hydrogen exists in even larger quantities. low.

There is still a problem with hydrogen fueling infrastructure, given that hydrogen cars are not that common. There are very few hydrogen fueling stations compared to gasoline and electric charging stations. The other problem that comes with hydrogen combustion engines is their complexity and cost. uses a similar architecture to other engines has a dual water injection system when you combine this with the need for precise control by the ECU the whole system becomes a bit complex an increase in complexity automatically increases manufacturing costs For the car manufacturer, on the other hand, it is also expensive for the owner to maintain this car, mainly because the parts are not that common.

Let's say Toyota were to achieve full-scale production of this engine, they would still have to deal with the issue of market readiness from now on production. The off-the-shelf version of this design is still under development and testing, even if it were approved as market ready, the automaker would definitely need more time before the car would be commercially available by manufacturing this hydrogen combustion engine. Toyota has demonstrated its commitment to exploring multiple solutions for sustainable transportation and in addition to the electric and hybrid motors they have come up with, the automaker has presented a different solution, this hydrogen combustion engine represents the automaker's interest in diversifying your sustainable vehicle options now that we've been talking about combustion. engine from time to time saying how good it is and how it

will

destroy

the entire EV industry, but how is it different from the traditional internal comb questions engine, what are the technical aspects of this engine that make it stand out even more to answer these questions?

We will focus on one of Toyota's most notable achievements in this field, which is the 1.6L 3-cylinder turbo engine. For those of you wondering why we are looking at this one in particular, it is because it is one of the Toyota's most successful hydrogen engines today. It is used in the hydrogen Corolla cross prototype and is working great. It perfectly combines traditional design with pioneering technology and is good at it, however, it is completely different from a conventional internal combustion engine. You see, the 1.6L 3-cylinder turbo engine is simply wonderful. When it comes to the engineering world, Toyota based this engine on the same platform as the engine found in the Gr Yarus and as we all know the Gr Yarus is known for its performance and agility, however, the engine supports hydrogen as fuel.

I had to make several modifications after these modifications, many people had many questions about it, however, one question that everyone was asking was how Toyota managed to maintain the engine performance while switching to a completely different fuel source. The secret is in hydrogen. The combustion process compared to gasoline hydrogen requires completely different combustion and handling techniques and with that in mind, the engine uses a high-pressure hydrogen direct injection system. This is a significant departure from traditional fuel injection systems; With this system, the engine can control the hydrogen supply. in the combustion chamber, this greatly optimizes performance and efficiency, but even with this, how is the overall performance of the engine affected?

You would be surprised how this hydrogen engine works. The 1.6L engine can produce enough power and torque to compete with its gasoline counterparts. thanks to the turbocharger, which plays a fundamental role in ensuring that the engine provides the necessary boost for high performance; However, there have been questions about whether turbocharging is really the way to handle the unique properties of hydrogen. The main reason for this concern is that compared to gasoline, hydrogen has a relatively lower density because of this, the engine would require a larger volume of hydrogen to achieve the same power output as gasoline.

Toyota engineers would not have overlooked this, taking the challenge head-on, they have ensured that the turbocharger and other engine parts are properly optimized to handle the unique properties of hydrogen fuel. One of the things that makes this engine even better is its efficiency. It turns out that the efficiency of hydrogen combustion engines is much higher compared to that of traditional engines. This effect is felt more during high load situations, as a result, it greatly affects fuel economy and has an environmental impact. With the increase in efficiency, it means that the engine has better fuel economy and, most importantly, it means that there is a significant reduction in emissions after all.

The only byproduct of the entire combustion process is water vapor, this technically means it has almost zero emissions and as we saw above this makes it one of the most environmentally friendly options out there. Achieving almost zero emissions from the hydrogen engine is important for Toyota. mainly because it is in line with the carbon neutrality campaign they are carrying out as Toyota moves towards a carbon neutral future, the automaker has employed more than one strategy to achieve this and instead of a one-dimensional approach, the manufacturer ofAutomobiles has opted for a rather diverse application approach to hydrogen and electric technologies, given its technology, the automaker can happily achieve this with a one-dimensional approach, but why opt for a multifaceted approach in its pursuit of neutrality? carbon?

To understand this, let's start with Toyota's commitment to hydrogen technology, but you might be wondering why go for hydrogen. The answer lies in its potential as a source of clean energy. When hydrogen is used in fuel cells or internal combustion engines, it only produces water vapor. This means it is the most environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels. However, Toyota's investment in hydrogen technology is not just for passenger vehicles. Toyota has used this technology in commercial vehicles and even public transportation solutions, but is hydrogen technology alone enough to achieve carbon neutrality? Let's say that Toyota has investigated this because by recognizing the limitation of using a single technology Toyota has also adopted electric vehicle technology.

One of the main components of Toyota's strategy to achieve this is the development of battery electric vehicles. However, they have used a quite different approach than other automakers, especially those that focus exclusively on EVS. Toyota's diversified strategy takes into account that there are some challenges to the widespread adoption of EVS, the most common of these challenges include limited range, long charging times and the environmental impact of battery production and disposal to address this. Toyota has offered a range of powertrain options more common are hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and B-type vehicles with these powertrains.

Toyota aims to serve a broader spectrum of customer needs and driving conditions, all of this diversified approach leads to the broader goal of carbon neutrality; However, Toyota has achieved this in several ways and one of the things it has done to understand this is to realize that different regions and markets use different energy sources. However, infrastructure and environmental policies, producing a one-size-fits-all approach, may not be as effective as expected in reducing global carbon emissions, for example, considering regions that use reusable energy for such places. On the other hand, bevs would be the most suitable option. When going to areas where hydrogen production is powered by renewable sources, FCEVs and Altos might be a better option;

However, considering Toyota's commitment to carbon neutrality goes far beyond vehicle emissions, the company is actively involved in initiatives aimed at reducing carbon emissions from automobiles. footprint of their manufacturing processes and to achieve this they are now promoting Recycling and the efficient use of resources and investing in renewable energy projects, however there is still more to do to achieve the ambitious goal of carbon neutrality to understand the impact of Toyota's strategy requires keeping our eyes open and looking at the broader picture to achieve a society that is almost completely carbon neutral. It would take a lot of changes to happen.

This not only applies to vehicle technology, but also to the production of this energy with Toyota's multiple systems. -Technological approach that has been combined with its initiatives in other areas of sustainability, it is clear that there is a comprehensive effort to address these challenges, in addition to achieving carbon neutrality, this move by Toyota also has some environmental benefits; In fact, there may be more than you could. Even imagine it, but to understand it let's step back a little and take a look at these benefits you see as the automotive world is slowly shifting towards sustainable energy development.

Toyota's hydrogen-powered internal combustion engines make for a fascinating proposition, but how do hydrogen engines work? Compare these engines with hybrid electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles To answer this question, we will first look at another question: what makes hydrogen engines stand out when it comes to their environmental impact? The main factor to consider here is the Emissions Profile It goes without saying that traditional gasoline engines emit a fairly large volume of carbon dioxide. Technically, this is the greenhouse gas that is playing a very important role in global warming. On the other hand, Toyota hydrogen engines do not produce carbon dioxide at all during their entire operation. and for those of you who think that achieving zero carbon emissions is impossible, it is quite possible that the secret to this lies in the combustion process of hydrogen engines, when the hydrogen fuel in these engines is burned, it reacts with the oxygen from the air to produce energy not to get into too much chemistry about this, but when hydrogen and oxygen burn they combine to form H2O which as we all know is water vapor, this is the only byproduct of the whole process, Just as we have seen the elimination of carbon dioxide emissions from the tailpipe is a big step towards reducing the environmental carbon footprint of the automotive industry, but what about HS and PHS for HS, which stands for vehicles hybrid electric?

They combine a gasoline engine with an electric motor, on the other hand, PHS, which stands for plug-in electric hybrid. Vehicles can be plugged in to charge their batteries at the end of the day. Both engines will offer greater fuel efficiency and reduced emissions compared to traditional gasoline vehicles; However, this does not take away from the fact that the engines still rely on gasoline, so they do not run. They still produce carbon dioxide emissions during operation and, although in smaller quantities, they are still there; In contrast, hydrogen engines offer the potential to achieve true zero-emission driving; However, this is only possible if the hydrogen fuel is sustainably sourced, another environmental aspect to consider. are the life cycle emissions of these vehicles when HS and PHEVs are manufactured, they are combined with batteries that require rare earth elements and to manufacture these batteries many manufacturing processes are required that consume a lot of energy, it is these processes that emit the most carbon environment is the issue that should be addressed here;

However, even with all this in mind hydrogen engines have managed to avoid all of these challenges, hydrogen fuel production, especially when derived from renewable sources such as wind or solar energy, can be less environmental. more demanding than battery production and, taking this into account, offers a more sustainable overall life cycle, in addition to everything we have already seen, the hydrogen combustion engine is practically more efficient than the traditional combustion engine , this is especially relevant for heavy-duty applications where the efficiency of hydrogen engines can match that of hydrogen fuel cells. Fuel cells have a high peak efficiency when at low load, but this tends to decrease when at higher load, but on the contrary, hydrogen combustion engines have a peak at high loads, making them suitable for use in places where high performance is required and as the world constantly fights the challenges of climate change and resource depletion.

Technologies like Toyota's hydrogen engines offer a ray of hope; They have definitely promised cleaner and greener transportation, all without compromising performance or practicality. and speaking of performance, we have mentioned that hydrogen engines will somehow have similar performance to gasoline engines, but how do they actually achieve the secret to achieving this is the nature of hydrogen as a fuel when comparing hydrogen as fuel with gasoline? relatively faster, this relatively faster combustion means that this engine would be more responsive which is a crucial factor when it comes to high performance driving, but does this have an effect on the overall driving experience as Are drivers accustomed to a conventional internal combustion engine to a certain level? of performance, they are also used to immediate throttle response and a certain growl when the engine is running, which gives them a certain feeling of power at their fingertips, you know what we are talking about, like when you hear That Dodge Charger running the intriguing aspect of HEVs is that they are also able to mimic these characteristics even when using a clean fuel source.

Drivers of Toyota's hydrogen-powered cars can still experience the same feeling you get from driving a conventional car, this includes everything from the sound of the engine, which if you ask most car enthusiasts is a part integral to the driving experience because of the power that comes with it, but do they also perform the same as conventional engines? Toyota has put this engine to the test in the demanding world of motorsports, the perfect test was when they added a hydrogen powered vehicle to the racing series, this not only demonstrated the robustness of this technology but also its potential to be used in high-performance applications in high-demand and high-stress environments.

High-speed engines have proven that they can compete head-to-head with traditional cars. They can also offer comparable speed, agility and endurance, which are crucial right now. Believe it or not, hydrogen engines are also capable of generating similar horsepower and torque to gasoline engines. These are pretty promising results, all things considered, when making some changes to existing engine designs. To adapt to hydrogen combustion, Toyota has managed to achieve powers that are on par with conventional engines; There are even times when these powers of hydrogen combustion engines are higher than those of traditional engines. This achievement is a technical milestone and a testament to the potential that hydrogen can be used as a viable alternative fuel for high-performance vehicles;

However, some people have questioned whether these hydrogen-powered vehicles can provide the same driving pleasure as their gasoline-powered counterparts, although this is the most subjective aspect of HIV, as early evidence of HIV has suggested. that it is quite possible for them to provide the same driving pleasure that has been experienced by drivers who have volunteered to test Toyota's hydrogen-powered vehicles and, according to their reports, these cars offer a familiar and exhilarating driving experience which combines traditional internal design. Dynamic combustion engine with the novelty of using a clean and sustainable fuel source by manufacturing cars that retain the performance characteristics of conventional ice vehicles.

Toyota is greatly narrowing the gap between the present and the future of automotive technology and whether it will be used for daily travel. or the adrenaline of the race track the hiv is sure to deliver the feeling of performance and enjoyment that drivers have come to love from traditional cars; They will achieve all this while still ushering in a new era of environmentally conscious motoring. So far we have seen that Toyota has been working on its hydrogen combustion engine and from everything we have seen so far, this is an engine that will revolutionize the electric vehicle industry;

However, they have an even crazier engine on the way and if it came to the real world it would completely destroy the entire industry or what's left of it after the hydrogen-powered engine imagine having an engine that runs on water. Yes, Toyota has immersed itself in the world of completely water-powered engine technology. This marks a significant leap in the search for sustainable solutions, but before I get into the details of this initiative, let's take a minute to look at the theory behind the water-powered engine. The idea of ​​an engine that runs on water sounds like something you would see in science fiction, however, Toyota has risen to the challenge of doing this.

In reality, the main principle behind this technology is to use water as a fuel source, but where exactly will the energy come from? I mean, water is the most inert thing that has ever existed, it apparently has no energy, the answer to this is in the chemical composition of water. which is scientifically known as H2O, is made up of two hydrogen atoms that have bonded to one oxygen atom and therefore, to unlock the energy potential of water, you just have to figure out how to separate these atoms fromhydrogen from the oxygen atom. The process to do this, which is known as electrolysis, electrolysis involves passing an electrical current through water to break it down into its constituent elements, which are hydrogen and oxygen alone.

Hydrogen is a high energy fuel and when burned can produce significant amounts of sufficient energy. to run an engine if it burns in larger quantities; In the case of Toyota's water-powered engine, hydrogen extracted from water would be used as fuel in a combustion process similar to that of traditional gasoline engines; However, unlike gasoline, the combustion of hydrogen still produces water as a byproduct and, as we saw above, this means zero carbon emissions. When Toyota comes up with this water-powered car, it will be a real game-changer in the industry. This would be a very attractive technology in the context of environmental sustainability.

Another intriguing aspect of Toyota's water-powered model. The motor initiative is filing patents related to this technology in accordance with patent applications. Toyota's commitment to developing and protecting this innovative technology suggests serious investment in making water-powered engines a reality, but how will Toyota integrate this technology into practical automotive applications? Incorporating water-powered engines into vehicles presents numerous challenges, the main challenge here would be to integrate an efficient electrolysis system into the engine, furthermore, they would have to think about safe hydrogen storage solutions and engine designs that can handle the unique properties of hydrogen combustion with all this. However, given Toyota's track record when it comes to innovation and technological advancements, these challenges are something they can conquer.

Toyota has definitely hurt the entire EV industry with their hydrogen combustion engines, but when they release the water-powered engine it will never be the same. Thanks again for watching and I'll see you next time.
