Honda FCX Fuel Cell Concept First Drive
The future is just around turn two
Honda FCX - Fuel Cell Concept: Honda's newest FCX is the next stage of fuel cell development from arguably the leader of hydrogen mobility. With the improvements made to the range and performance of the vehicle as well as the size and weight of the fuel cell, Honda has inched fuel cell vehicles closer to prime time. The new FCX will be made available for limited purchase in 2008. A fuel cell vehicle is powered by an electric motor running on electricity generated by a fuel cell stack that uses hydrogen as its energy source. The Honda FCX creates its energy via two hydrogen tanks filled up to 5,000 psi, and a fuel cell stack that makes significant strides in development, primarily in it's smaller, vertical design. This allows for better water drainage, and as a result creates more power, range, and starting consistency in colder climates. It matters if you like clean skies and believe that global warming is, indeed, a threat. If you don't, go ahead and go back into the Dubya Tent. Fact is, most automakers agree: hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are a serious and needed part of future mobility solutions. Honda's FCX seems to be the most advanced fuel cell vehicle today, and while it's a concept, the good news is that it will be on sale as early as 2008, thanks to significant advancements in making the cell smaller, stretching vehicle range to 270 miles, and improving power - the concept can get up to at least 90 mph.
