Toyota Motor Corporation develops fuel-cell-bus power supply system

Toyota, Japan: Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) has developed a power supply system that uses electricity generated within a fuel cell bus (FC bus) to supply electrical power to devices such as home electrical appliances. Fuel cell vehicles (FCVs), which generate electricity from hydrogen to power a drive motor, are considered to be a promising environment-friendly vehicle for the diversification of fuel sources and for the realization of zero emissions.  Furthermore, FCVs can supply a much greater amount of electrical power than electric vehicles (EVs).  Thus, FC buses, with their large amount of stored hydrogen, hold promise as potential mobile power-supply vehicles that can be used at such places as evacuation centers following disasters.
