The capital was formed from January 1, 2018 that any car intended for taxi service must be labeled ECO or Zero.

This ruled out traditional versions of internal combustion, but still excluded fuel cell vehicles. However, this will no longer be the case, and the Toyota sedan can be used for passenger transportation.

The Japanese model was chosen for several reasons, and one of them is its spaciousness. We’re talking about a car 4975 mm long, 1885 mm wide and 1470 mm High which can easily accommodate five passengers.

However, what really sets it apart from any other in its segment is its propulsion system, as it is a clean, hydrogen-based fuel.


The Toyota Mirai uses 182 hp electric motor and 300 Nm maximum torque. With this amplifier you can achieve 175km/h top speedexactly as you can achieve autonomy 650 kilometers.

Of course, this is not the only thing worth mentioning. This sedan has a special feature as it includes air purification system which cleans what goes into the car by removing it without elements like sulfur dioxide through the exhaust pipe. According to the Japanese firm, every 10,000 kilometers Mirai purifies 4,730,400 liters of air.

With this model, it seems that hydrogen cars will become more widely represented in Madrid, although they have not yet reached the level of conventional electric vehicles. However, progress may not be too fast as there are some issues for consideration.

On the one hand, we are not talking about cheap cars, because. Mirai starts at about 65,000 euros. Now.

To this should be added lack of infrastructure in the capital, where there is currently only one hydrogen plant located in Sanchinarro. However, it may be that over time these shortcomings can be mitigated and these models end up becoming more and more integrated into our fleet.
