Honda presented new model coming next year, which is equipped with hydrogen fuel-cell model and apprised plans for new car models and battery cells by the year 2018.
At the 2015 Detroit auto show, Honda displayed new fuel-cell electric car concept. It's called the FCV (fuel cell vehicle), and the car manufacturer has officially declared that it previews a production car that will roll into showrooms 2016 and replace Toyota's Mirai.
The automaker declared that it has reconsidered its fuel-cell technology to be more compacted and efficient. The new hydrogen fuel equipment is 33 percent smaller than the one in the FCX Clarity and boasts a 60 percent increase in energy liberation. The new slug fuel element now fits completely beneath the hood of the FCV, which should disentangle extension elsewhere in the new car model. The FCV boasts a 300-mile distance-to-empty, can re-energize its hydrogen fuel battery in about 3 minutes, and sets only evaporated water from its exhaust duct off.
Along with this new fuel battery tech, Honda also made public announcement that it's working on a new plug-in hybrid, a new accumulator box vehicle, and even more applications of its two- and three-motor hybrid systems, all rolling into showrooms by 2018. Honda calls this product expansion a "portfolio approach to advancing micro-thin carbonium technologies,".
