Instead of hybrids or electric cars, Honda is firm in its belief that fuel-cell-powered cars are “the ultimate mobility solution of the future,” according to its president Takanobu Ito.
At the unveiling of its latest hybrid model — the CR-Z — at the Geneva Motor Show, Ito said that for the future, Honda will continue to offer low CO2 powertrains but that it would be fuel-cell vehicles, such as its FCX Clarity, that would sell by volumes in the future. Ito added that Honda has recently made a solar powered hydrogen refining unit without a compressor that’s 25% more efficient than previous units. He explained that this unit is perfect for home use so consumers won’t have to purchase hydrogen elsewhere. In early 2011, a Jazz hybrid will arrive in Europe.
