Hydrogen cars will follow battery-electric, says Honda

HONDA BOSSES BELIEVE hydrogen fuel cell technology still has a role to play in the future of the passenger car once the battery EV era' is fully under way.

Honda has long been a proponent of the hydrogen car, launching the FCX Clarity in 2008 and following it up with a second generation, which ran from 2017 to 2022.

More recently, it has launched a fuel cell version of the current CR-V in the US and Japan, which was co-developed with General Motors. Now, the brand suggests that FCEV cars could become a mainstay of its global line-up.

Katsushi Inoue, who heads Honda's electrification efforts following stints leading the brand in Europe and China, gave Autocar his vision for the future of hydrogen cars.
