Eco Factor: Zero-emission vehicle powered by hydrogen fuel cells.

Toyota says that the recent advancement in fuel-cell technology has enabled it to cut the price of building fuel-cell vehicles by 90 percent, which can allow the company to sell its first hydrogen vehicle for $50,000 by 2015. The company is also hoping that it can cut the cost of fuel cells by another 50 percent to make the vehicle even more affordable.

The company has slashed the cost of fuel cells by reducing the amount of platinum by up to 67 percent. It has also reduced the cost of the polymer-electrolyte membrane used in the cell. The cost is set to decrease even further when large-scale production is made.
