26. FCV Summary Fuel cell vehicle is the most promising technology for lowest GHG and use of sustainable energy sources. Over the next decade and beyond, need improvements to resolve technical hurdles and reduce cost. Honda is taking a comprehensive approach that includes the development of both fuel cell and refueling technologies towards a hydrogen society. The 2005/6 FCX is powered by Honda FC Stack with the breakthrough ability to start and operate in sub-freezing temperatures, making it possible to place the car in northern regions.
