Toyota hydrogen fuel cell bus Sora will be put into production for the 2020 Olympic Games

According to foreign media sources, Toyota has started production and sales of hydrogen fuel cell bus Sora in Japan. The car SHARES technology with Toyota Mirai. Like other fuel-cell vehicles, Sora has limited production. Toyota said that by 2020, only more than 100 Sora will be produced for the Olympic Games.

Sora's design pursues a significantly different appearance from the hexagonal shape of a traditional bus. The car uses LED headlights and taillights technology, making this fuel cell bus highly recognizable. The bus is 10.525 meters long and can accommodate 19 passengers, including 22 seats, 56 stations and 1 driving seat.

Sora is equipped with two 114-kilowatt fuel cells, each powered by two 113-kilowatt AC synchronous Motors. In addition, Sora also uses NiMH as a drive small battery.

The car's 10 cans of hydrogen(600 liters under 70 MPa pressure) is equivalent to the energy of a box of oil for a traditional bus. The car is also equipped with an external emergency power supply system, namely a special inverter, which can be connected to the bus by CHAdeMO, providing up to 9 kilowatts of power(up to 235 kilowatt-hours of energy can be provided, and can be used for one to two days depending on the use situation).
