To save weight, components such as the oil tank, the air filter box integrated into the subframe and the air induction are made of carbon fiber reinforced polymer. This is especially beneficial to the lithium-ion traction battery, as it provides optimum performance at temperatures between 68 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit.

As an example, Yokoyama used the carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) hydrogen storage tank. In other words, low-cost FC vehicles and a sufficient supply of low-priced hydrogen needs to be available. The hydrogen storage tank consists of a CFRP outer shell, with a liner for H 2 sealing. —Akio Toyoda. Source: Toyota.
