Who needs a time machine when we have car shows where various brands regularly present futuristic models. One of the last to offer us the latest insight into the future is Toyota; at the Tokyo Motor Show 2015, which starts at the end of October, it will present as many as three concepts. Among the trio, the futuristic FCV Plus study, which is powered by fuel cells, caught our eye the most. When the vehicle is not in use, it can share excess energy with the electrical grid or turn into a power plant.
FCV Plus it's Toyota a futuristic study, which is also mobile power plant, as it can share excess energy with the infrastructure and even generate electricity during the idle phase. Toyota he sees the future in fuel cells and their universal use, which leads us towards the second EV-revolution, which the FCV Plus perfectly embodies.
It drives her four electric motors with one in each wheel (as if that doesn't make sense), the fuel cells are squeezed between the front wheels, and the hydrogen tank is behind the back seats and thus does not steal space from the passenger cabin. This configuration simultaneously balances the vehicle to have ideal mass distribution, and the driving characteristics also benefit greatly from this.
