Honda Hydrogen Car
The Honda FCX Clarity
Honda have manufactured the first commercial hydrogen car to go on general sale. By 'general sale' we mean a modest 200 cars were sold to a list of keen green motorists that included A list celebs.
It is however, an important milestone in the development of mass produced hydrogen cars.
The FCX Clarity transforms hydrogen fuel to electricity using a new Honda proprietary fuel cell stack. The cells' power density is said to be up by 50 per cent on previous cells, but the stack is still - as in most fuel-cell vehicles - hybridised with a li-ion storage battery to cope with acceleration, hill climbing etc.
