An exciting new model of car has been shown off at a local dealership, running off not petrol or electricity, but sustainable hydrogen.<\/p>\n
Attendees at Melton Toyota\u2019s Fleet Launch\/Open Expansion Day last Thursday were taken on a tour of the showroom\u2019s new facilities by Coimadai resident and Dealer Principal Grant Harrison, and also given a hands-on look at the hydrogen-powered Toyota Mirai.<\/p>\n
The tour consisted of the new Toyota Certified showroom which features a large workshop for tyre fitment\/replacement, new and used vehicle parts fitment, a detailing area, window tint bays, and an area specialising in dent repairs and paint workshop.<\/p>\n
Leaders from Toyota Australia were on site to show off the hydrogen-powered Mirai vehicle and explain its benefits. Guests were then offered the opportunity to test drive the Mirai on local streets, and the Corolla Cross Atmos\u2019 self-parking abilities were displayed in a demonstration.<\/p>\n
Mr Harrison said feedback from attendees on the event, and the capabilities of the Mirai, were \u201cvery positive\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cMelton Toyota was proud to have the hydrogen-fuelled Mirai displayed at the dealership\u2019s recent Fleet Open Day. Local fleet and government buyers were interested to see and understand the potential for hydrogen-powered vehicles in our state,\u201d Mr Harrison said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Mirai has a driving range of 650 kilometres, and its fuel cell technology emits only water.\u201d<\/p>\n
Guests at the Open Day were also provided with lunch, drinks, and a thank you gift bag at the end of the event.<\/p>\n
Early next year, the Melton Toyota dealership will be hosting a visit to Toyota\u2019s Centre of Excellence at Altona, where government and fleet buyers will get the opportunity to visit Toyota\u2019s Hydrogen Centre.<\/p>\n
