Torrance-based Toyota Motor Sales USA said that a recent 2,300 mile trek in a Toyota Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle (FCHV) from Fairbanks, Alaska, to Vancouver, British Columbia, along the Alaska-Canadian highway confirmed teh vehicle's substantial progress in reliability and durability, cold-weather operation and extended range.

Bob Carter, Toyota Division group vice president and general manager, said: "Beyond the single-tank range capability, this new system was developed to deal with two major challenges to the refinement of fuel-cell power-trains. That is, starting and operating in cold temperatures and standing up to the vibration and harshness of rough road conditions ... over a long distance ... over a long time."
