In the first month since its launch in Japan on December 15 last year, approximately 1,500 orders have been received for Toyota's Mirai fuel cell sedan.

At the time of the vehicle's launch, Toyota announced plans to sell approximately 400 units in Japan by the end of 2015. Due to the large volume of orders received, Toyota forecasts a significantly longer time to delivery than originally expected.

Roughly sixty percent of the orders are from government offices and corporate fleets, and forty percent from individual consumers. Orders are mostly from Tokyo, Kanagawa Prefecture, Aichi Prefecture, and Fukuoka Prefecture.

The Mirai's motor is powered by electricity generated through a chemical reaction between airborne oxygen and hydrogen within an onboard fuel cell.
