The private hire specialist, which launched in 2006 with four cars and now runs a 600-strong fleet, is one of the first European customers for Mirai, taking two cars from the initial 12 that Toyota expects to be on the road in the UK before the end of this year.

Julia Thomas, greentomatocars managing director, said: “We are thrilled to announce that the first hydrogen powered fuel cell Toyota Mirai are now actively on the road and servicing our greentomatocars clientele as they travel around London. As London’s own original eco passenger car service, we strive to support the latest in environmental transport technology and we are extremely excited to have these vehicles join our fleet, to delight our customers and to lead the way towards a cleaner city and world.”
