Honda FCV Concept 2018

 Honda Fuel Cell Vehicle Concept

The new Honda fuel-cell car will feature a spacious cabin with seating for 5-passengers, a driving range estimated to be in excess of 300 miles, and an anticipated refueling time of approximately 3 minutes at a pressure of 70 MPa. Its fuel cell stack, which fits entirely within under the hood, is 33% smaller with a 60% increase in power density compared to the outgoing Honda FCX Clarity.

As the next progression in Honda's dynamic FCV styling, the Honda FCV Concept features a low, wide aerodynamic body with clean character lines. The interior strives to achieve harmony between man and machine by taking advantage of new power-train packaging efficiency delivering even greater passenger space than its predecessor, the 4-passenger Honda FCX Clarity fuel-cell vehicle.

In an effort to ensure Honda's environmental vehicles remain strong competitors and provide a new sales volume pillar, the company will offer several next generation, advanced power train vehicles, including a new battery electric model and pug in hybrid model by 2018. Additionally, the company plans further application of its 2 and 3 motor hybrid systems in the years to come.
