Honda Fuel-Cell Car Achieves Performance Parity

he Honda FCX Clarity is a hydrogen-powered vehicle scheduled to be released for leasing later this year. It represents a marked improvement over earlier fuel-cell cars by radically reducing the size of its fuel cell stack and motor. It achieves zero emissions while enjoying performance that's virtually identical to that of a regular car, engineers said.
