As previously reported, American sales of the California Fuel-Cell Partnership ’s fuel cell vehicle, the Mirai , are currently limited to California , as it is the only state boasting any hydrogen refuelling infrastructure. However, now we learn that Toyota is asking eight Californian dealerships to slow down on Mirai deliveries due to lack of available refuelling stations. The consolidation of Toyota’s sales, manufacturing administration and holding-company functions into one campus is not easy, the CEO says, noting Toyota has to make common various functions that currently are disparate. Plano , Toyota CEO, revealed at the Detroit Auto Show that he has asked dealers to hold off on deliveries until the situation is rectified, he was, however, keen to emphasise this does not constitute a stop-sale order. While Toyota previously said it hoped to have eight operational stations in California by the end of 2015 , information released by the California Fuel-Cell Partnership shows that there are 43 stations in various stages of construction, with some still only in the permitting process.
