Honda FCV is intended to provide significant gains in packaging, interior space, cost reduction and real-world performance

The Honda FCV Concept will make its North American debut at the 2015 North American International Auto Show on January 12. The Honda FCV Concept showcases the styling evolution of Honda’s next fuel-cell vehicle, anticipated to launch in the US, following its introduction in Japan, which is scheduled to occur by March 2016.

The concept model features a low and wide aerodynamic body with clean character lines. The interior takes advantage of the new powertrain packaging efficiencies, delivering even greater passenger space than the Honda FCX Clarity fuel cell vehicle, including seating for up to five people.

Honda’s concept car made its world debut in Japan on November 17, 2014, followed by an announcement that Honda will provide FirstElement Fuel with $13.8 million in financial assistance to build additional hydrogen refueling stations throughout the state of California in an effort to support the wider introduction of fuel-cell vehicles.
