Honda thinks they have it

auto warranty It looks like hydrogen fuel cell cars could be a little closer than first expected. Until a few weeks ago, most everyone thought that hydrogen fuel cells were 10-15 years off. Now, however, Honda has plans for production on their hydrogen cars in the next three to four years.

If Honda is the first manufacture to release hydrogen fuel cell cars, that will boost them into the new realm of autos. In theory, the hydrogen car would use hydrogen to generate electricity that powers a motor.  In fact, Britain already has a hydrogen filling station because some of their public transportation system has hydrogen engines.

Right now, Honda claims, their in the process of refining and working on more efficient ways for the fuel cells to operate. They’re hoping in three to four years they will have met the desired output and efficiency needed to be worth buying.

The first hydrogen based car will be based on the FCC concept, which was unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show last year.  It is interesting that Honda is so positive about the outlook because GM and Toyota, not to long ago, stopped working together because it was too difficult to produce and they (GM and Toyota) were unsure of the hydrogen fuel cell’s future.
