Honda has unveiled a sketch of an upcoming concept, ahead of its global debut at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show on 20th November. Christened the Honda FCEV, it expresses a potential styling direction for the Japanese firm's next generation Fuel-Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) launching in the U.S and Japan in 2015 and later in Europe.
"As we work towards the introduction of our next generation fuel-cell vehicle in 2015, our long term experience with fuel-cell technologies will help us pave a way towards a zero-emissions future," said Mike Accavitti, Senior Vice President of American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
Honda has led the industry in the development and deployment of fuel-cell electric vehicles, where in 2002, it was the first automaker to begin a retail initiative with the leasing of its fuel-cell electric vehicles to fleet customers.
Since 2005, around two dozen customers are driving the FCX Clarity - enjoying the benefits of driving this advanced technology vehicle, while also contributing valuable experience, helping Honda to advance fuel-cell technology for the future.
