Honda FCX Clarity
Honda has started production of Honda FCX Clarity comercialiación, the first vehicle sold in series with the electric motor and fuel cell hydrogen.

The purpose of sales of the sedan is 200 units in three years, and rented at a price of $ 600 per month, used as experimental test of the car, being a first step for further large-scale commercialization.

The Japanese multinational intends to market in the short term, available in California, USA, in early July and in Japan later this year. This geographical limitation that prevents a wider market is due to the lack of hydro, gas stations where vehicles can refuel hydrogen.

Operation is simple; instead of a combustion engine using an electric, 100kW, about 136 hp, powered by a fuel cell produces electricity from hydrogen.
Thus, vehicle emissions during operation are null, since residue is obtained as water vapor.

With a range of 570 miles thanks to its tank of 171 liters of fuel, and a top speed of 160 km / h and a weight of 1633kg, you get benefits similar to those obtained by many of their counterparts with engines “traditional.”

Honda President Takeo Fukui has said it plans to begin mass producing motor vehicles with hydrogen fuel cell within 10 years.
