The country's first full-scale demonstration operation project of hydrogen fuel cell cars was launched in Nansha. On February 14, the "Nansha hydrogen race" public travel service project jointly carried out by Guangzhou Nansha District Government and GAC Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. was officially launched. Through the introduction of the "ultimate environment-friendly vehicle", the second generation MIRAI hydrogen fuel cell car, the new experience of hydrogen energy vehicle travel that "only drains water and does not produce carbon dioxide" was brought to the public, helping to build a "carbon neutral" society.

　　All along, GAC Toyota has been rooted in Nansha and strived for high-quality development. In 2022, the production and sales of GAC Toyota exceeded one million units for the first time, with electric vehicles accounting for more than 30%. In terms of production and sales scale and popularization of electric vehicles, GAC Toyota entered a new stage of development. The departure of the "Nansha hydrogen race" project and the first layout of the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle industry will also inject high-quality new energy for the development of GAC Toyota.

　　The first full-scale demonstration operation project of hydrogen fuel cell car in China, and the second generation of MIRAI

　　In order to promote the high-quality development of the hydrogen energy industry, the Guangzhou Municipal Government and Nansha District Government have issued a series of policy documents to encourage the application of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and the development of hydrogen energy infrastructure, including guiding the orderly opening of hydrogen fuel cell vehicle demonstration application scenarios in the area, such as online car, public transport, tourism, commuting and other scenario areas.

　　The "Nansha hydrogen race" project is another important measure of Nansha District to promote the high-quality development of the hydrogen energy industry in Dawan District. It is also the first time that hydrogen fuel cell passenger cars have been put into public travel service in a large scale in the country, marking the arrival of "hydrogen travel life". GAC Toyota and the Nansha District Government will work together to build the "Nansha hydrogen race" into a new IP for the national hydrogen energy industry, explore and promote the use and popularization of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, promote the hydrogen zero-carbon transportation mode, and accelerate the green development process of the cities in the Great Bay Area.

　　In this "Nansha hydrogen race" project, GAC Toyota will invest 65 second-generation MIRAI hydrogen fuel cell cars to provide a number of public travel services in Nansha District, Guangzhou, including short car rental services at the same price level of fuel cars; Invest MIRAI into the online car-sharing travel platform to carry out online car-sharing services; Set up MIRAI cruiser experience special line at key transportation hubs, key scenic spots, business centers, government affairs centers and other transportation nodes in Nansha District to provide convenience for citizens through reservation mode.

　　It is worth mentioning that the second generation MIRAI made its debut at the 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympic Games in Beijing, and was put into use on a large scale in China for the first time as an event service vehicle. Its environmental protection experience and safety were highly praised. The launch and operation of the "Nansha hydrogen race" is the second generation of MIRAI to provide services to the public in a wider range after the Winter Olympics, and also shows the pioneering significance of the Great Bay Area in exploring the new energy industry.

　　Since it took the lead in mass production of hybrid medium and high class cars (Camry Hybrid) in Nansha District 12 years ago, GAC Toyota has always been committed to promoting the popularization of electric vehicles. At present, it has achieved the cumulative production and sales of more than 850000 electric vehicles, and has made practical contributions to the emission reduction of vehicles. At the same time, it has built hybrid (HEV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV) All-round electric technology layout of pure electric vehicle (BEV) and hydrogen fuel cell (FCEV). With the introduction of the second generation MIRAI into GAC Toyota's channel sales and demonstration operation, the world's leading Toyota hydrogen fuel cell vehicle technology has also landed in the Chinese market, and GAC Toyota has once again led the trend of all-round electrification.

　　Taking the "Nansha hydrogen race" as an opportunity, GAC Toyota will accumulate experience for the popularization and promotion of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in the future.

　　New experience of "ultimate environmental protection" travel! MIRAI Chengda Bay New Scenic Spot

　　MIRAI is the first mass produced hydrogen fuel cell vehicle in the world. Since its launch in 2014, the global sales have exceeded 20000 units. It carries a fuel cell stack that allows hydrogen and oxygen to react chemically and generate electricity. It relies on electric motors to drive the car. It uses clean energy. "It breathes air, adds hydrogen, and emits only water", so it is known as the "ultimate environment-friendly car" with zero emissions.

　　The second generation MIRAI, born on the high-end platform of TNGA architecture, can not only provide the ultimate environment-friendly zero-carbon travel experience, but also bring high-quality driving and riding enjoyment. Compared with the previous generation, the carrying capacity of the second generation of MIRAI is increased by about 20%, and the energy consumption is reduced by about 10%. By adding hydrogen for about 3 minutes at a time, it can achieve a long driving range of nearly 800 kilometers. During the driving process, it only drains water and does not emit carbon. At the same time, the safe carrying of hydrogen fuel has also undergone rigorous testing and practical use verification.

　　At the same time, the second generation MIRAI also has avantgarde cool design, pleasant driving interest and intelligent configuration, which will become a new scenic spot in the Great Bay Area. It is a pure electric rear drive car that pursues "pleasure driving". It has the ultra-high torque and smooth acceleration experience brought by electric motor drive, the low center of gravity and high rigidity body endowed by TNGA architecture, and the optimal configuration of FC system to achieve the ideal weight distribution of 50:50 before and after, as well as the extreme tranquility developed as an administrative car, which realizes the seamless connection between pure electric drive performance and comfort and pleasure driving pleasure of luxury cars, Achieve extraordinary driving experience. The second generation MIRAI is also equipped with the latest T-PILOT intelligent driving assistance system, which brings intelligent and safe driving experience; The air purification system can filter PM2.5 fine particles and purify the air in the vehicle; The external power supply function is applicable to a variety of electrical products, bringing passengers a more pleasant and reassuring experience.

　　Rooted in Nansha, based in Guangdong and radiating across the country. In 2022, Qifeng will promote the full supply and stable production of its products. Its production and sales volume will exceed the scale of one million for the first time. Its growth rate will rank the first among the joint ventures, and its market share will rank the second among the brands in China. It will maintain its quality development and enter a new stage of development. Looking forward to the new year, GAC Toyota will seize the opportunity, meet the challenge, focus on achieving new breakthroughs in high-end brand, electric transformation, supply chain guarantee, technology research and development, digital transformation, and other aspects, promote the high-quality development of its own height and make contributions to the high-quality development of the real economy.
