Future News
The future lineup of AFVs promises all new hydrogen based fuel cell vehicles (FCVs). During the summer of 2002, the Honda FCX became the first FCV in the
world to receive US government certification. A limited number of these space-age autos arrived in Los Angeles, CA in December 2002, leased by the City of
Los
Angeles for local government use. By 2010, as hydrogen fueling stations begin to expand around the country, Honda's fuel cell model, as well as several
built by other auto makers, including Chevrolet and BMW, will be available to American car buyers.
The introduction of Fuel Cell Technology to the automobile market is largely dependent on the ease of availability of the new, cleaner hydrogen fuel, a
development which is in turn dependent on government support and private enterprise efforts to push development forward in the US. To learn more about Fuel
Cell technology and its importance to our future, visit Gaiam.com
