One hydrogen refueling is enough for a new car to overcome seven hundred and fifty kilometers of asphalt Japanese roads. Such a fuel tank is filled with hydrogen as quickly as a gasoline one, in just two or three minutes. The car is equipped with a power source that can be used to illuminate and heat a residential household in case centralized electricity is unavailable.
