Hydrogen fuel cell car by Honda

Published in Tech by Aditi Tuteja

Honda has begun limited mass production of a hydrogen fuel cell powered vehicle. The new Honda FCX Clarity will be the world’s first commercially available hydrogen fuel cell car.

There is a plan to deliver only 200 of the vehicles during the next three years. A few dozen will be made available in the US and Japan during the next one year.
These cars will be using hydrogen gas as their fuel which is compressed for storage inside the fuel cell. Honda has devised a technology for producing hydrogen from natural gas.

The fuel cells charge batteries to drive an electric motor. With full charge the car has a maximum range of 280 miles, according to Honda.
