The FCV Clarity will move the hydrogen fuel cell market even further into the mainstream
Honda’s new FCV Clarity will be taking the fight to the likes of Hyundai’s ix35 and Toyota’s Mirai by the end of 2016 – moving the hydrogen fuel cell market even further into the mainstream.
As launched at the New York motor show, the car will go on sale in America and Japan in the spring, and is set to enter European and British showrooms later on in the summer. Although prices have yet to be confirmed, the dollar sum is expected to be the equivalent of £41,700, with a £350 monthly lease charge.
The newcomer follows on from Honda’s FCX Clarity, and boasts a more efficient fuel stack that is claimed to be 33% smaller with a 60% better power density. Its electric motor puts out 134bhp, while new, more compact powertrain packaging entirely within the engine bay frees up more space in the cabin and boot.
