Nope - Toyota is already working with FuelCell too.

Ballard engine does not manufacture hydrogen, it runs on hydrogen.

BALLARD is not even a close guess for what I was talking about.

HOW IT WORKS
The Toyota Fuel Cell System used in Mirai produces electricity from a reaction between hydrogen and oxygen.

You fill up with hydrogen fuel, in the same way as you buy gasoline or diesel at a filling station. The fuel is contained in high-pressure tanks and fed into a fuel cell stack, where the hydrogen and the oxygen found naturally in the air react with each other and generate electricity.

As in a petrol-electric hybrid, the electricity is boosted in voltage to drive the electric motor. Further energy is captured in a battery every time the car brakes or slows down, which contributes to even better fuel economy.

Our decades of research and development in hybrid electric technology have helped us to be the first around the world to make a system with a power density of 3.1kW per litre.
