Meanwhile, Honda's chief of electrical powertrain development, Thomas Brachmann, says fuel cell vehicles meet "environmental demands but also deliver the range and performance that customers expect." Perhaps Honda is making sure the UK is ready for future, which the automaker claims will include the "ultimate transport solution" (in other words, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles).Continue reading Even without H2 cars, Honda opens UK's first public-access hydrogen station
