Toyota Hydrogen Demonstration Centre

AMCouncil Melbourne Chapter members were invited to a site tour of the Toyota Hydrogen Demonstration Centre in Altona yesterday where delegates were treated to a guided tour of the education centre and Victoria’s first hydrogen refuelling station. The tour began with a walking presentation to learn all about hydrogen, what it is, where it comes from, how it’s produced, fuel cells and how they work in the context of the Toyota Mirai vehicle, a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, followed by a demonstration of the hydrogen refuelling station when a well-timed Toyota Mirai driver happen to pull up to refuel his vehicle. A very interesting visit.
