In the said vehicle expo, the Japanese carmaker even managed to bring in the Mirai, its latest innovation in hybrid electric vehicle technology. In basics, the Toyota Mirai is a hybrid passenger car that uses hydrogen fuel cell as gasoline replacement to power its combustion engine.
Lexus Philippines also jons this activity by showcasing its latest stable of hybrid vehicles. These include the NX300h, the RX450h, and the LS500h.
