Following the presentation in Europe of Honda Clarity Fuel Cell at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this month of March, Honda Motor Co., Ltd. has begun sales in Japan of its new vehicle fuel cell they expect to sell about 200 units per year. I remember that Toyota and showed us the price of Toyota Mirai even before taxes is considerably more expensive than the Honda product.
In this first year of marketing in Japan Clarity Fuel Cell, Honda will focus on the sale by leased mainly to local public bodies and companies with which Honda already has been working to contribute to the popularization of the vehicles fuel cell . During this period, Honda will collect information on the use of Clarity Fuel Cell and collect different opinions and requests from users and other relevant organizations to subsequently put on sale for the general public.
At first, Honda will manufacture a limited volume of units in the production monitoring unit and the monitoring unit production propulsion systems -located in the city of Takanezawa, in the district of Shioya, Tochigi (Japan) - with a view to expanding production volume based on the increased demand.
In Europe, the Clarity Fuel Cell is distributed in a limited way through HyFIVE project in the UK and Denmark from September 2016. In this first step towards commercialization of this technology in Europe, valuable information be collected on use and expectations of customers in the real world.
- By minimizing the space used by the drivetrain, Honda has been able to get an interior space that comfortably fit five adults, as expected in the case of a four-door model powered by a conventional engine. The size of the fuel cell and the generation unit is comparable to that of a six-cylinder engine size.
- The block of the fuel cell is 33% more compact than that used in the original FCX Clarity. This improvement has achieved an increase in maximum engine power to 130 kW (177 hp) and an increase in the power density of 60% to 3.1 kW / l.
- The model is equipped with a high pressure reservoir capable of housing 70 MPa hydrogen, which increases the capacity of hydrogen that can store and thus prolongs the range of the vehicle. Thanks to this deposit the model can travel more than 700 kms and can be refueled in three minutes in a high pressure system at 70 MPa and 20 ° C.
- The absence of gearshifts, the Clarity Fuel Cell get a perfectly smooth acceleration from zero to maximum speed under all circumstances. Direct response, incredible driving experience and the silent interior form a winning combination. The Clarity Fuel Cell offers the driver two driving modes: Normal mode, which provides an optimal balance between fuel economy and driving performance, and Sport mode.
- Your Full-LED headlamps, stylized and defined profile, and aluminum wheels 18 inches, with a streamlined and elegant design stand out on the outside.
- Honda is scheduled to launch the Clarity Fuel Cell in several European markets throughout 2016. Honda is one of the automotive companies belonging to the consortium HyFive and supply vehicles will be part of a strong European fleet of 110 cars designed to put highlight and promote the development, use and feasibility of this new technology.
