The hydrogen drive combines the advantages of electric vehicles with those of petrol or diesel engines: Only water vapor comes out of its exhaust, and it can also keep up with combustion engines in terms of fast refueling and range. Fuel cell electric vehicles are an attractive climate-neutral alternative, especially for heavy goods traffic and public transport.
Messer has a Toyota Mirai with a fuel cell drive to promote environmentally friendly H2 mobility. The strikingly wrapped vehicle has been on the road in various European countries since 2022 as a Messer ambassador for H₂ technology. Messer's respective national companies are demonstrating how the supply and refueling of hydrogen works smoothly in everyday life.
The Toyota Mirai has a 142-liter tank in which hydrogen is stored at a pressure of 750 bar. The refueling process only takes a few minutes and the range is up to 650 kilometers.
For more than 125 years, Messer, the today’s world's largest privately owned company for industrial gases, medical gases, specialty gases, and gases for electronics, committed to its guiding principles of safety, focus on customers and employees, responsibility for our society, sustainability, trust, and respect.
