The FCX Clarity answers the call for fuel efficiency 05/12/2011
The Honda FCX Clarity, which was the first fuel-cell electric vehicle that was available to regular consumers in 2005, may be getting a boost in sales following the opening of a public hydrogen station in California.
The car is run on an electric motor that is generated by an on-board fuel cell, leaving its only emissions to be a little bit of water. The FCX Clarity has a 240-mile EPA-certified driving range with each five minutes of refueling time.
As the FCX Clarity is available in Sothern California, it seemed like a good idea to open the Shell hydrogen station in Torrance.
"This new Torrance hydrogen station will give FCX Clarity customers another option for quick, convenient fueling," said Elmer Hardy, senior manager, Alternative Fuel Vehicle Sales & Marketing at American Honda Motor Company Incorporated. "This is a positive step for our FCX Clarity customers and the industry as we continue to put vehicles on the road and demonstrate the real-world capabilities of Honda fuel-cell electric vehicle technology."
