Departed on May 26 from the station to hydrogen HysetCo located in Orly in the Paris region, it made its journey with a single charge of hydrogen, taking a mainly road route which passed through Loir-et-Cher and Indre-et-Loire. This world distance record for a hydrogen vehicle was achieved under the supervision of a bailiff.
In its press release, Toyota specifies that the Mirai achieved an average consumption of 0.55 g / km and that thehydrogen used was produced without the slightest program polluting. At the end of its trip, the car had 9 kilometers of remaining range.
