You could wash yourself with the exhaust from this 547-horsepower Toyota Tacoma (8 photos)

Toyota has prepared an unusual concept for the SEMA show: the Tacoma H2-Overlander. This "green" pickup truck for off-road adventures has a fuel cell powertrain that produces 547 horsepower. The only emissions it produces are water, which, according to Toyota, while not drinkable, can be used for washing dishes or showering in the wilderness.





The H2-Overlander is powered by two electric motors, powered by a fuel cell unit borrowed from the Toyota Mirai. Three hydrogen tanks, with a total capacity of 6 kilograms, are integrated into the frame. A 24.9-kilowatt traction battery and a specialized cooling system are also included. Water generated by the fuel cells is passed through a purification system.

The prototype's developers, Toyota Racing Development, claim that the pickup truck has retained its off-road capabilities not only thanks to the locking differentials in the wheel drive, but also thanks to a modified suspension. It uses Fox shock absorbers, some components from the Toyota Tundra, and 17-inch wheels with 35-inch tires.

Exterior modifications include reinforced bumpers, alternative composite body panels, additional lighting, and a storage system in the bed. Since the concept is aimed at long-distance travel, it can transfer energy to other vehicles. The H2-Overlander's on-board network can power a tent campsite or charge two electric vehicles simultaneously.
