GM and Honda are teaming together to make the next generation fuel cell technology.
Their goal is commercially feasible fuel cell and hydrogen storage in the 2020 time frame.
“This collaboration builds upon Honda and GM’s strengths as leaders
in hydrogen fuel cell technology,” said Dan Akerson, GM chairman and
CEO. “We are convinced this is the best way to develop this important
technology, which has the potential to help reduce the dependence on
petroleum and establish sustainable mobility." Takanobu Ito, president & CEO of Honda Motor Co. Ltd. said:
“Among all zero CO2
emission technologies, fuel cell electric vehicles have a definitive
advantage with range and refueling time that is as good as conventional
gasoline cars. Honda and GM are eager to accelerate the market
penetration of this ultimate clean mobility technology and I am excited
to form this collaboration to fuse our leading fuel cell technologies
and create an advanced system that will be both more capable and more
affordable.”
Fuel cell technology covers many of the major challenges facing cars today – emissions, efficiency, petroleum dependency, range
and refueling times. The only emission from fuel cell vehicles in water vapor.
