Recently, Honda announced a $13.8 million financial aid to FirstElement Fuel to build more hydrogen refueling stations across California to support the wider introduction of fuel-cell vehicles.
The Honda FCV Concept made its world debut in Japan on Nov 2014.
The FCX was the world’s first production fuel-cell vehicle, introduced to the U.S. and Japan in 2002.
The Honda FCX Clarity made Honda the first manufacturer to produce a dedicated fuel-cell vehicle on a production line specifically made for fuel-cell vehicles.
In addition, Green Car Journal will honor the 2015 Honda CR-V as one of five finalists for the 2015 Green SUV of the Year award.
