Honda sees hydrogen in its future
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?
