SOUTHFIELD, MICHIGAN ¨C As others automakers plan battery-powered SUVs and trucks, Toyota Motor Corp.¡¯s vision for the future of driving remains a hydrogen-sipping sedan.
The Japanese behemoth will begin sales late next year of its second-generation Mirai, a fuel cell-powered four-door, and will ramp up annual production by tenfold from the current model.
Toyota¡¯s bet ¡ª that it can position a hydrogen sedan for more of a mass market ¡ª flies in the face of rivals wagering on putting batteries into the bigger-bodied vehicles consumers are buying.
