Toyota Hydrogen Fuel Cell Saloon revealed

The final design of Toyota’s Hydrogen Fuel Cell saloon is revealed The final design of the production version of the Toyota Fuel Cell Saloon has been revealed ahead of its arrival in the UK next summer, and it’s not a million miles away from the Toyota FCV Concept we saw last year at the Tokyo Motor Show.

It looks like it’s been squished from both sides, and if you’re lanky them climbing in is quite a squeeze.
