Toyota,Mass production of FCVs to begin

Automakers are ready to begin full-fledged production of fuel-cell vehicles (FCVs), dubbed "the ultimate form of eco-friendly cars."
This summer, Toyota Motor Corp. will be the world's first automaker to start mass-production of FCVs.As a sales war with electric vehicles (EVs) is expected, competition among automakers over next-generation eco-friendly cars likely will be increasingly fierce.
At Toyota's plant at its headquarters in Toyota, Aichi Prefecture, fuel-cell production lines started operations on Jan. 6.
Fuel cells are the heart of an FCV, generating electricity through the chemical reactions of hydrogen fuel and oxygen.
