"Honda FCX clarity" The Zero-Emission Sedan of the Future
How FCX Clarity Works
FCX Clarity is powered by an electric motor. The car you drove to
work today is probably powered by an engine. The big
difference is that the motor in the FCX Clarity gets its
energy from electricity, instead of from gasoline like most
cars today. So while the FCX Clarity has the power of an engine,
it also offers the uniquely clean, quiet ride of a motor.
The Fuel Cell
Fuel cells produce electricity that can be used as a clean alternative
to gasoline. The fuel cell stack in the FCX Clarity converts hydrogen
(H2) and oxygen (O2) into electricity.

The FCX Clarity was designed from the ground up to be a fuel cell vehicle that runs on electricity powered by hydrogen, and emits only water vapor and heat into the air. In other words, the fuel cell technology was developed by Honda for the FCX Clarity, and was not retrofitted to an existing model. . Instead, our engineers cleared away all preconceived notions of automobile design, challenging themselves to discover the new possibilities that can only be realized with the fuel cell vehicle.
