“We are ready to start offering our Mirai hydrogen model on the Czech market immediately after the commissioning of the first public hydrogen filling station.

Toyota has been selling the first production Mirai series hydrogen car since 2015 and will soon launch it in the second generation. To date, it has sold more than 10,000 hydrogen-powered cars worldwide.
