Honda's New Hydrogen-Powered Vehicle Feels More Like A Real Car

The most notable thing about Honda Motor new hydrogen-powered FCV, to be unveiled Wednesday at the Tokyo Motor Show, is not the silent burst of acceleration it provides when your foot touches the pedal, or the fact that it emits nothing but water vapor from the tailpipe. It’s not even that the FCV can go more than 400 miles between three-minute hydrogen fillings - assuming you have access to a hydrogen station. No, the most important thing is that Honda’s new fuel cell system is one-tenth the cost of previous versions and — for the first time — fits neatly under the car’s hood, taking up no more space than a typical V-6 engine. That means two things: 1) there’s more space for passengers and cargo, and 2) the compact fuel cell power train can be used in a variety of other Honda vehicles.
 
Where do they get the hydrogen from?

You can get hydrogen from Natural Gas by treating it with High temperarure steam. ( Steam Hydrocarbon reforming ) or you can get it from low sulfur coal by running it through a high temperarure furnace.
