	Honda FCX
		In July 2002, Honda's FCX was certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Air Resources Board (CARB), making it the first and only fuel cell car in history to be approved for commercial use.
		While the 2005 Honda FCX is our second-generation fuel cell vehicle (FCV), it is the first to be powered by a Honda designed and manufactured fuel cell stack.
		The Honda FCX is the world's most advanced FCV in regular daily operation and the first hydrogen-powered FCV to be certified by CARB and the U.S. EPA, as a 2003 model in July 2002.

	Full Test: 2005 Honda FCX
		The 2003 Honda FCX was the first hydrogen-powered fuel-cell car to be certified by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the U.S. EPA in July 2002.
		However, Honda said the fuel tank in the FCX has been extensively tested — once it was crash tested in a collision with a train — and it never ruptured.
		Honda admitted that the future of fuel-cell cars is uncertain and there is no guarantee that this type of car will ever make a practical contribution to meeting our transportation needs.

		Honda president Takeo Fukui stated at the 2006 North American International Auto Show that the FCX concept car would be available for limited driving opportunities for the media as soon as the third quarter this year.
		Another advancement of the Honda FCX hydrogen concept car is the use of three motors in its powertrain to propel the vehicle.
		Honda has solve this issue in the FCX concept car by developing a hydrogen absorption material that doubles the tank capacity and delivers a range of approximately 350 miles, which is one par with most gasoline-powered cars.

	CanadianDriver: Test Drive - Honda FCX fuel cell car
		Honda is working on the issue from top to bottom, from it's own fuel cells (currently they use those from Canada's Ballard Power Systems), to development of systems would allow in-home refueling by generating hydrogen gas from natural gas, widely available in many homes.
		One area where Honda has taken a different tact, and made what appears to be a breakthrough, is the development and use of an "Ultra Capacitor" instead of the nickel/hydride batteries used by other fuel cell systems.
		Honda's own electric motor, a further development of that used in its EV Electric vehicle, can spin up to 11,000 rpm, allowing it to produce both low and high-speed performance.

	IGN: Honda FCX Concept
		Honda claims that the new fuel cell's vertical orientation is better than the current horizontal layout due to the fact that gravity can be used to more efficiently pull away the cell's "waste" water (Tech note: water is the "waste" produced by fuel cells after the hydrogen is converted to electricity).
		According to Honda, the ability to expel this water quickly is crucial to the fuel cell's efficiency and performance.
		Honda wants everyone to focus on the fuel cell technology found in the FCX Concept, so the company isn't really giving any dirt on the rest of the car's features.

	Honda FCX Concept - Previews - Car and Driver September 2006
		In the latest form, Honda’s FCX features a new V Flow fuel-cell stack with a claimed power-to-volume density increase of 50 percent, and a power-to-weight density improvement of 67 percent.
		At Honda’s Tochigi proving ground, where we drove the new FCX, the only evidence of all this advancement is a futuristic but spacious vehicle that moves off briskly with a whisper of sound, accelerates fairly quickly to highway cruising speeds, and continues on to a top speed of 100 mph.
		Honda is planning to market a vehicle based on this FCX concept in limited numbers in 2008 in Japan and the U.S. Pricing and/or lease arrangements have yet to be decided.
