Honda produces first Hydrogen cars
First FCX Clarity rolls off the production line in Japan
Honda has begun the first commercial production of a zero-emission, hydrogen fuel cell car.
The first FCX Clarity model, which runs on hydrogen and electricity and produces only water vapour, rolled off the production line in Japan today.
The Japanese carmaker claims the vehicle offers three times better fuel efficiency than a traditional, gasoline-powered car.
It plans to produce 200 FCX Clarity’s, which are initially only available to lease, over the next three years.
The cars have been in development for 19 years and will first go on sale in the US and Japan this autumn.
