Honda's new hydrogen-powered vehicle, set for leasing within a few months, radically reduced the sizes of its fuel cell and motor for a superclean car with the same interior space as a regular car, engineers said Tuesday.
That's a vast improvement from the company's first such model introduced nearly a decade ago. The fuel cell was so bulky that the car could barely seat one person and crept along at a snail's pace.
The new FCX Clarity reaches maximum speed of 160 kilometres an hour and comfortably seats four people.
