Description
As a hydrogen-powered electric vehicle, the Toyota Mirai operates without a traditional engine block, eliminating the need for complex mechanical parts like a camshaft. The camshaft’s function is to time the valves in a combustion engine, but the Mirai’s power train uses a fuel cell stack to generate electricity, which then powers an electric motor to turn the wheels. This design significantly reduces the number of moving parts, leading to lower maintenance and higher efficiency compared to a gasoline or even a hybrid vehicle.
