What's the Purpose of a Fuel Cell?

Whats a good hydrogen fuel cell kit for a 2011 Toyota Tacoma TRD sport?

  • gas prices are ridiculous i want to know what hydrogen fuel kit would be good for my truck and where to purchase it, also does anyone know if the dealer can install it, or where i can get it professionally installed?

  • Answer:

    You obviously haven't looked this up - there is no such "kit". Fuel cell cars such as the FCX Clarity don't have engines like your truck does, they are basically electric cars, but the fuel cell generates the electricity to drive the motors (unlike the Nissan Leaf which has batteries). Fuel cells are hugely expensive - and where would you get the hydrogen even if you had the money to convert your truck? Unless you live in southern California, you won't find anyone that will sell it to you in the US. Go here for more info: http://www.hydrogencarsnow.com/hydrogenfuelcellcars.htm

Yes, as the previous-poster mentioned, it is not an easy retrofit. Fuel cells produce electricity so you would need to remove the engine, fuel tank and possibly transmission. Then install electric drive motors and drive controllers before you could have a vehicle that can run from a fuel cell. You can use practices to reduce your fuel consumption such as conserving momentum, avoiding fast starts and stops, and using lots of following distance to keep your speed as constant as possible. Also--drive less!

There are kits for cars that produce hydrogen gas from the electrolysis of water to burn as fuel.The amount of hydrogen produced is not enough to make a difference.
