Honda Fuel-Cell and Hybrid Cars on the Way
So who will be the 1st to bring in the consumer ready hydrogen fuel cell vehicles to the
U.S.? Well, Honda has that in the plan book. They plan on being one of the first if not the first to introduce the Hydrogen fuel cell vehicle to the
US public consumer… that would be me and you! Honda already has the current FCX fuel-cell car and others in the making. They will be leased to real consumers probably in
California and Washing D.C. where they have accessible hydrogen pumps.
Honda will also be producing a type of home fueling station that will use natural gas to produce hydrogen fuel for the hydrogen fuel cell vehicles while providing extra electricity for the home at the same time. Hydrogen fuel-cell cars have zero emissions, and the next generation FCX is said to have a range of 270 miles on a full tank, with an equivalent of 68 mpg when compared to gas. Honda claims it will hit 100 mph while others have managed to get it up to 75 mph with no problem in tests. Over-all performance is not much different from most low powered four cylinder engines.
So will Honda beat everyone to the mainstream in introducing the first hydrogen car just like
Toyota brought us the first hybrid vehicle? Time will tell. I am sure you can surly check back here at AutomotiveAddicts.com for live updates over the next couple years!
