The Honda FCX Clarity is also packed with a range of standard equipment, including a full compliment of advanced safety, comfort and convenience features. As well as radar-based Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), a rear view camera, multiple airbags, a collision mitigation brake system (CMBS), premium sound system, air conditioned seats, and a state-of-the-art navigation system with hydrogen station locations.
Honda has taken the first steps towards creating a true zero emission hydrogen powered vehicle for everyday drivers who want to reduce their carbon footprint.
The Hydrogen Car Explained:
How the FCX Clarity works: According to Honda, the FCX Clarity uses its fuel cell stack as the vehicle's main power source. Hydrogen combines with atmospheric oxygen in the fuel cell stack, where energy from the reaction is converted into electric power used to propel the vehicle.
Additional energy is also generated through the capture of kinetic energy from vehicle braking and deceleration (known as regenerative braking), which is stored along with surplus energy from the fuel cell in the lithium ion battery pack, and is used to supplement power from the fuel cell, when needed. The vehicle's only emission is water.
The new car utilises Honda's V Flow stack in combination with a new compact and efficient lithium ion battery pack and a single hydrogen storage tank to power the vehicle's electric drive motor.
The 'V Flow FC Stack' features an entirely new cell structure that achieves a higher output of 100kW, smaller size and lower weight, with a 50% improvement in output density by volume, and a 67% increase in output density by mass, compared to the previous Honda FC stack.

Honda FCX Clarity - Hydrogen Powered Car
If you live in California and can spare $600 per
month, you can drive the FCX zero emission car
Look - no exhaust pipe! Just a
vertical gas flow cell structure
The styling of the car is fairly restrained,
optimised for aerodynamic efficiency
