Toyota Mirai Makes East Coast Debut
The all new Toyota Mirai made its East Coast debut at the DC Auto Show. The Mirai is the first-generation hydrogen fuel cell vehicle. This marks a turning point in the automotive industry. In order to expand hydrogen infrastructure, Toyota calls for government and industry stakeholders to help make fuel cell zero emission vehicles available to more drivers.
While most refueling stations are currently located in California, Patel [Toyota's Vice President of North American Business Strategy] said the company is partnering with Air Liquide—one of the world’s most experienced hydrogen suppliers to develop and supply a phased network of 12 state-of-the-art hydrogen stations in 5 states: New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island.

A concerted effort and collaboration will be needed to expand hydrogen infrastructure and to have hydrogen fuel cell vehicles available to more people, especially for all of us in the Southeast region. We are very excited by what the future holds as Toyota continues to build a better tomorrow for all of us. Our family at Lipton Toyota looks forward to the day we can offer our customers the first ever hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, Toyota Mirai!
