"Honda will be the first carmaker to provide a fuel-cell vehicle to a customer in the U.S. in 2002." From Edmunds' News/Headlines section: Honda Plans Fuel Cell Debut in '02. Anyone else have more information to share...? Thanks for your participation!  What do you think?  Revka Host Hatchbacks & Wagons Boards |

| Unfortunately, there does not seem to me much info available on the FCX to discuss. But, as usual, Honda is keeping itself in the forefront of automotive technology. | |
| While we see puffs of water vapor as exhaust somebody in India or China will have enormous quantities of nastiness dumped in their back yard to make the hydrogen. Since many of these nasty byproducts of hydrogen production are gaseous (soft-coal powerplant emissions, etc.) we will not have accomplished much because it'll waft right here anyway so hybrids for now. | |
| Its no FCX thats for sure ! http://www.msnbc.com/news/793959.asp | |

Nice to see HondaMoCo. taking the lead with inovative technology as usual ... weaning ourselves off the Mid-East Oil Teat will take inovation and thinking that is "outside of the box" as the old cliche goes ... A true Hydrogen re-fuel infastruture will take this kind of thinking also ... I'd like to see the development of Fusion Reactors fast-tracked by democratic world governments ... this kind of self-sustaining reaction reactor would make the production of Hydrogen clean, cheap and perpetual ... hell it might cure our reliance on non-renewable fossil fuels for good! |

It appears that this is just part of a longer term research project rather than a true commercial launch:
http://world.honda.com/news/2002/4020724.html 30 Echo-sized vehicles, that require a H2-refueling infrastructure and have a range of 355km? I think it'll be along time before H2 completely replaces gas/diesel, but it could be a viable alternative for the "2nd commuter car" fairly shortly. Even that would be good, given the amount of smog we get blowing in from Buffalo, Detroit and Toronto: 400 to 700km's away! And hey, it beats the heck out of good city planning!!! |
