Scientists and engineers have criticized the Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle for not being clean enough to be considered a true zero-emissions vehicle. They have called for the vehicle to be removed as the official car of the XXXIII Olympiad, stating that battery electric vehicles are a more effective way to decarbonize passenger transport. The Mirai has faced declining sales and criticism for its use of grey hydrogen, which is produced from fossil fuels. Toyota has been urged to switch the official Olympic vehicle fleet to 100% battery electric vehicles for the 2024 Games.
