Toyota only sold 2,604 examples of the hydrogen-powered Mirai in the U.S. in the first nine months of the year
The second-generation Toyota Mirai was never going to be a big seller given the lack of a comprehensive hydrogen refueling network, but it did show the brand’s commitment to the technology. However, Toyota has now admitted that given the Mirai’s lack of popularity, it is shifting its hydrogen focus to commercial vehicles.
Nakajima noted the car manufacturer is looking for ways to downsize the components of its hydrogen powertrain so they can be used in different models. He also suggested that there could be a market for hydrogen pickup trucks but didn’t say if the firm is actively developing any. Although the carmaker doesn’t deem the current Mirai a success, it has been more popular than the first-generation model. Toyota sold 2,629 examples of the second-gen Mirai in 2021 in the U.S.
