New Honda FCX Clarity

American Honda's new zero emissions electric vehicle the FCX Clarity is having a limited release in Southern California for a 3 year lease. This limited release will serve as a test for American Honda officials to witness the progression of the vehicle over a long term period. 

American Honda ensures the public that the FCX Clarity is strictly an electric vehicle, and that the only by product is water.  Honda states, “The fuel cell combines hydrogen with oxygen to make electricity. The electricity then powers the electric motor, which in turn propels the vehicle.”

In addition to this, the specifications on the Clarity enable it to be almost 400 pounds lighter than a normal fuel propelled vehicle, has 120% power-to-weight ratio, and is 20% more fuel efficient. 

For safety, Honda has included the Collision Mitigation Braking System.  This helps alert the driver to possible collisions and will automatically slow the vehicle and apply brake pressure in the event of an accident.
