Fuel cell vehicles are literally electric vehicles that derive their
electricity through the use of hydrogen. The only byproducts on the vehicle's
operation is water vapor, making this type of technology the most promising for
our future.
Unfortunately, the hydrogen infrastructure is very limited, often prompting
pioneering companies like Honda to offer a residential hydrogen producing
station that can be used to refill the vehicle's storage tanks.
We look forward to the release of the newer FCX platform from Honda in 2008
as it will usher a new era of automotive progress.
