Team leaders spent months building the truck, called Mudcrab, using a 1978 Land Cruiser body and fitting it with a waterproof electric motor. Reports say its tires were 150 kilogram (375 pound) units filled with water, a detail which surely helped with buoyancy issues but had to have put a strain on the EV powertrain. along the way.

The new Mirai is one part of an electrification strategy that also includes Toyota’s current and future hybrids and upcoming battery electric vehicles (BEVs). An electric air compressor pressurizes the intake air, and a water-cooled intercooler reduces the temperature of the compressed air before it enters the FC stack.

An asynchronous motor is used at the front axle. The electric motor, a fixed-ratio transmission with differential, the cooling system and the power electronics form a highly integrated, very compact unit—the electric powertrain (eATS). The battery is part of the intelligent thermal management system of the EQB.
