How odd that the Bush Administration has been touting this for years.
The future of driving, if Honda has anything to say about it, came to a California race track recently in the form of a dark red sedan that is slated to be the first fuel cell car on the planet to come off a production line.
The Honda FCX looks like a slightly futuristic version of a blend of cars, especially those made by Honda Motor Co. But by one particular yardstick, the car is special — it doesn’t run on fossil fuel. Instead, a fuel cell car uses hydrogen.
“This is the first purpose-built fuel cell vehicle to be put on the road in the hands of retail customers,” said Stephen Ellis, fuel cell marketing manager for American Honda Motor Co. “It’s not a car that is remade from some other platform.”
And how long has Honda been testing that FCX?
