Toyota FCV PLUS (Hydrogen) - Walkaround

The Japanese automaker is going all-in on hydrogen, as a fuel source not only for cars, but also for society in general.
Hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles work like small generators -- the car's onboard fuel cell converts compressed hydrogen gas into electricity, and the only byproduct is water. It's not surprising, then, that these rolling power stations could be used for solutions above and beyond personal transportation. Toyota wants to be at the forefront of that movement, and its FCV Plus concept aims to make that happen.
Toyota FCV (Fuel Cell Vehicle) Plus has fuel cell stack mounted in between the front tyres and hydrogen tank at the rear. Besides its own hydrogen tank, the vehicle can also generate electricity directly from hydrogen stored outside it. Interestingly, it shares its power generation capabilities with communities as a part of the local infrastructure when it’s not being used for transportation. While the rear wheels of the car are covered, the front wheels are exposed. It gets compact and small headlamp console. The concept misses out on dashboard, though it gets a steering wheel with mounted controls.
Not only does the FCV Plus operate using a built-in hydrogen tank, it can be hooked up to a larger, external tank -- at that point, the car could become a generator for your home or office, supplying power in lieu of (or in complement to) a more traditional grid. If your car is sitting around unused, and your house is already good on power, it can send any excess juice back into the infrastructure for use elsewhere.
Its strange, almost golf-cart-like proportions are due to some unique packaging on Toyota's part. The FCV Plus has individual electric motors tucked into each wheel, allowing the automaker to expand its wheelbase to the extreme edges of the body. With the fuel cell between the front tires and the hydrogen tank tucked in the back, there's plenty of space for four people, despite the car's somewhat small proportions.
There's still plenty of time to conceptualize, though -- hydrogen infrastructure is very, very lacking at the moment, and it will take a groundswell of support to raise the funds necessary to change that.
