Buckle up for your safety! Sooner or later we don't have to worry on the rising price of gas.
Honda automobile manufacturer has introduced no gasoline vehicle this year on the road. A car of the future goes hydro-electric. According to their website advertisement, "The FCX Clarity is ready for the road. A limited number of these groundbreaking vehicles will be leased to Southern Californians starting this summer."
"The Honda FCX Clarity is a hydrogen fuel cell automobile manufactured by Honda. Currently there are more than twenty 2002 prototype-based, leased vehicles in the hands of customers in three different American states, including the state of New York, city of Las Vegas, Chula Vista, San Francisco and the South Coast Air Quality Management District.
Limited marketing of a latest fuel cell vehicle based on the 2007 concept model began in June 19, 2008 in Japan and the United States. Honda believes it could start mass producing vehicles based on the FCX concept by the year 2018."

Although the mass production is anticipated by 2018, a lot of customers are already lining up for their units. The projected price on how much it will cost by 2018 is still not revealed to the public, however, all the units right now, are on $600/ month lease for 3 years. There are a lot of challenges that the manufacturers, owners, and the vehicle itself are facing, like the limited number of refueling stations and the mobility of these vehicles.
Well, we may not feel the practicality of owning this car today but imagine the effect of the mass production of this type of vehicle sooner or later. Honda FCX Clarity is guaranted one among the practical cars of the future.
