It uses hydrogen, which has a higher energy density than electricity and can be produced from various raw materials. A compact, lightweight new fuel cell and high-pressure hydrogen tanks are arranged beneath the floor of the sedan-type dedicated body, achieving an efficient package. The practical cruising range is expected to exceed 500km. Hydrogen refueling is possible in just 3 minutes, comparable to gasoline vehicles. Furthermore, its external power supply capability is said to be sufficient for over a week's worth of electricity for a typical household, making it a valuable asset in times of disaster.

Also making its world premiere is the "FV2," a concept car embodying the "beloved car" of the future. Instead of a steering wheel, intuitive forward, backward, and lateral control is achieved through the driver's shift in body weight.
