The awareness of the green car market has increased lately; automobile magazines and websites are packed with information on eco-friendly cars. For years automobile companies have built hybrid vehicles, and the latest startling discovery is hydrogen fuel cell vehicle technology (FCV). Honda is developing a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle concept and it is going to be a sight of attraction at the prestigious Detroit auto show. The expected arrival period of the vehicle is sometime in 2016.
The development of Honda FCV concept is in tune with the latest advancement in automobile engineering technology. The body of the car is wide and low and its stitched together with potential ingredients that create an incredible aerodynamic effect. The interiors will be vastly spacious sufficient enough to seat five occupants.
Honda is planning to create a full length exposure of its pioneering FCV car, it was earlier showcased in November in Japan, and at that point it announced of a plan to build a hydrogen fuelling station in California. The company is collaborating with a team to build hydrogen gas station, and the initial investment is $13.8miilion to the established First Element Fuel, that supports vast development of fuel-cell vehicles.
Honda is at present conducting extensive clinical trials on its FCV concept; the present concept car has an improved power density, higher by about 60%. The vehicle can glide through an admirable 300 mile range with just five minute fill up. It is an improvement over Tesla’s Supercharger that covers the same distance on 30 minute fuel fill up. The interior room of the present concept car is bigger than the earlier concept model, to improvise on the space; Honda has reduced the size of fuel cell stack.
Car enthusiasts who are passionate about new car designs and technologies can head to Detroit Auto Show to view the innovative fuel cell vehicle concept of Honda. The company is likely to launch the car sometime in 2016 March on home Japanese soil, after which it will head to international destinations and the primary favorable overseas markets are Europe and US.
An image of Honda Fuel Cell Vehicle concept is on the web, and it looks stunning, true to its futuristic nature of development. It looks pretty high-tech and enormously varied from other highly developed vehicles in the market. The design innovation is inscribed on glass roof that occupies much of the back segment visible on the shortened rear architecture. The flow of roof line is pretty smooth and technical.
The architecture of the rear compartment is novel as well, the tail lights blend in with the bumper, and like other conventional vehicles, and there is a compartment on the side to fill hydrogen gas. The structure of wheel arches is also one of a kind and a neat side ridge completes the overall aesthetic nature of the car.
The Honda FCV concept is going to steal the enthusiasm of the crowd at the Detroit Auto Show, and in the months to come, many more interesting discoveries will be unraveled, before the actual launch in 2016.
