Test Drive: Honda's FCX fuel-cell car ready for its close-up [5.18.7]

Honda's first two generations of FCXs, derived from the defunct EV-Plus electric car, have been small, upright, blocky cars; mainly mobile housings for the fuel cell under the floor. The 2008 is quite different. It's styled to be arresting, exotic.

Honda has shrunk the fuel cell and realigned it to be vertical, not horizontal, so it fits under the center tunnel in the car. The vertical stack also speeds water flow to minimize the chance of freezing, and the compact size concentrates the stack's heat to fight freezing and allows the stack to produce power quickly, Honda says.

The automaker won't say yet how many 2008 FCX sedans it will build. But those who wind up driving them are likely to be delighted, if the prototypes are a true harbinger.

Its really good to introducing Honda FCX fuel cell and the company have make two model in which have negative for setting arrangement and will work from the electrical energy.It works with well output and user are fully appreciate by the use of it.

I am glad to hear that Honda’s fcx fuel cell efficient car is ready for close up..but the annoying factor for me is it really a necessary.... from the past experiences we have observed that fuel cell efficient car or more commonly called as electric cars have no takers they failed to capture the imagination of people big time ...this due to the fact that driving a electric car signifies a yesteryear car with no power or riding comfort .so unless this car offers some drastic improvement from its predecessors .There is not going to be any significant improvement in sales volume

Oh that's such a good news.I didnt know that honda has come out with Honda's fuel cell efficient car.
