Honda FCX fuel cell car runs at 4 below zero
13 June 2005 by Hydrogen PowerHonda engineers have dropped the temperature range at which their Honda FCX can operate to -4 degrees F and are aiming at minus 22. They’re also working on increasing the range to 370 miles from the current 270.
Cold operation is just one technical challenge with which Honda and Toyota engineers are wrestling. Their long-term goal is to create a fuel cell car that is comparable to one powered by an internal combustion engine.
The engineers are giving themselves plenty of time. If all goes well, Honda hopes to sell 50,000 fuel cell vehicles a year in the United States by 2020. Toyota wants to sell 12,000 fuel cell vehicles annually in the United States in the early 2010s.
