Honda's hydrogen fuel cell concept car to go into production next year

[UnyieldingHierophant]

The age of the hybrid fuel cell car has arrived -- with a whisper.

Against the backdrop of ever-rising fuel prices and worries about global warming, Honda has unveiled its FCX hydrogen-powered fuel cell concept car, set to go into limited production next year.

Honda expects the 2008 FCX will get fuel mileage of around 68 mpg in combined highway and city driving, with a range of 270 miles. The only emission that the FCX's electric engine produces is water vapor created when hydrogen and oxygen combine to produce electricity

This is no ordinary automobile. Be that as it may, Honda officials emphasized that soon, driving such cars would be an everyday experience.
