Toyota Hydrogen Engine Corolla

The liquid hydrogen-powered engine generates power by injecting hydrogen, the fuel, directly into the engine for combustion. The liquid hydrogen-powered GR Corolla uses a reciprocating pump that pumps the fuel, through the reciprocating motion of a piston when transferring hydrogen from the fuel tank to the engine. A Toyota GR Corolla with a hydrogen combustion engine has successfully completed its second season in the Super Taikyu Series (S-Tai), a motorsport event focused on carbon.

Toyota's engineers equipped the 1.6l 3. Toyota's GR Corolla H2 Concept showcases liquid hydrogen tech, while a new system reclaims boil-off gas, turning would. Toyota sees a future for hydrogen in vehicles, and not just as fuel cells for electric motors.

The company has unveiled the Corolla Cross H2 Concept, equipped with an internal. Powered by hydrogen yet retaining the basic components and architecture of conventional gasoline-powered internal combustion engines (ICEs), Toyota sees HICEV as another potential technology to help reduce carbon, especially in high performance applications like motorsports, as part of a broader goal to realize a carbon neutral society by 2050. By equipping the 1.6l 3-cylinder turbo engine from the GR Corolla with high-pressure hydrogen direct injection engine technology from motorsport activity, and adding the hydrogen tank packaging know-how from Mirai, Toyota was able to create a Corolla Cross H2 hydrogen prototype that can transport 5 passengers and their luggage.

Toyota's hydrogen-powered GR Corolla H2 completed 83.6% of the winner's laps at Fuji 24H, marking its best endurance showing yet. The Corolla runs on 'boil-off' hydrogen from liquid hydrogen carried in its fuel tank. Burning hydrogen in a combustion engine generates no emissions of carbon monoxide (CO) or unburned.

The GR Corolla H2 also boasts impressive performance figures, a 1.6-liter engine turbocharged engine that runs on hydrogen stored in armored fuel tanks. With only 5kg hydrogen, the vehicle can run as much as 300 miles but the best part still is the sound of the eight.
