Honda Clarity Fuel Cell
It’s all under the bonnet

Honda did pioneering work in hydrogen technology with the Clarity – and is already producing the second generation of its Clarity Fuel Cell saloon. Its predecessor, the FCX, made its market debut in 2008; the new Clarity launched in 2016.
All drive components fit under the bonnet: fuel cell, electric turbocharger, electric motor with reduction gear and power electronics. The dimensions of the complete drive system are comparable to a 3.5-litre V6 unit.

The maximum system output of the Honda Clarity is 130 kW or 176 PS. With its high torque of 300 Nm, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 9 seconds. The top speed is 165 km/h. During deceleration and braking, energy flows back into the battery (recuperation).

Two H2 pressure tanks (700 bar) behind the rear seat and under the rear seat of the Honda hold 5.0 kg of hydrogen for a range of 650 km.
