  1. Toyota doesn't market anything as they're not trying to sell MIRAI. Toyota has been maxed out in their car production capacity and cannot keep up with demand, so some people are waiting months for delivery in hybrids. Toyota makes 10,000 hydrogen vehicles each year. It's a concept car for enthusiasts that is being researched, tested, and perfected for future decades, just like the Prius was 30 years ago. (It's why the car is named "MIRAI" or Future in Japanese.) Japan's interest in hydrogen economy is not solely about cars. It's about shifting away from reliance on coal, oil, and natural gas in everything from electricity generation, heating, transportation, and steal production. And Toyota's hydrogen fuel cell system is already being tested in public buses and trains in Japan. There are many technological hurdles, and the only way to overcome them is countless iterations of testing. That is what Toyota and many other like-minded companies are doing. From what we know, the Germans and South Koreans are testing similar technology as they understand the implications of hydrogen. They are also testing hydrogen buses, trucks, trains, steal plants, etc.
