Lexus aims to launch its first fuel cell vehicle model in 2020, and is likely to unveil a fuel cell prototype in the near future. The company has been working on developing hydrogen fuel-cell-powered cars for several years, but it was not until last year that Toyota announced plans to develop an electric car based on Toyota’s technology. The car may prove useful in the creation of a vehicle powered fully by fuel cells. At present, Toyota is the sole automaker with a fuel cell vehicle currently in mass production, though Lexus and other car manufacturers are planning to develop vehicles once hydrogen infrastructure is more comprehensive.
