The revolutionary Honda FCX, an advanced hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicle, was delivered on June 29 to the Spallino family, who signed a 2-year agreement with Honda. They’ll use the FCX as an ordinary vehicle for everyday’s commute, in California. Reducing pollution is a big concern in California, and last April, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger announced the state’s commitment to a Hydrogen Highway built underway by 2010 with both public and private money. Without this, the delivery of a fuel cell vehicle would not have been possible. The fleet will be extended to 13 cars throughout the USA.
The Spallino’s invaluable experience will help Honda develop this technology. The FCX is the only vehicle certified by US EPA (environmental protection agency) and CARB (California’s air resource board) . It can run even at subfreezing temperatures, returns 62mpg for a range of 190 miles, with no emission..
