Industry = Automotive
Press Release Summary = Combining VCM with Honda's Integrated Motor Assist hybrid
technology, Honda Insight and Civic Hybrid captured four of the top five slots in
the EPA 2004 fuel economy ratings. FCX fuel vehicle powered by the Honda FC stack is
the realization of Honda's long held effort of hydrogen-powered vehicles. Leading
the pioneering efforts for the development and application of leading edge
environmental technologies including the first Low Emissions (LEV) and Ultra-Low
Emissions (ULEV) vehicles and the first commercially certified fuel cell vehicle,
Honda now again has proven its innovative ideas.
Press Release Body = Employing Variable Cylinder Management technology (VCM), Honda
Accord Hybrid is the first hybrid vehicle to deactivate three of its engine's six
cylinders in certain conditions like highway cruising for greater fuel efficiency
without affecting its performance.
The new 2005 V6 Accord Hybrid integrates the fuel economy of a four cylinder compact
Civic and high-level performance.
Combining VCM with Honda's Integrated Motor Assist hybrid technology, Honda Insight
and Civic Hybrid captured four of the top five slots in the EPA 2004 fuel economy
ratings. In 2005, Honda-developed fuel cell stack featuring increased performance
and fuel efficiency, reduced cost and the capability to start in below freezing
temperatures.
Leading the pioneering efforts for the development and application of leading edge
environmental technologies including the first Low Emissions (LEV) and Ultra-Low
Emissions (ULEV) vehicles and the first commercially certified fuel cell vehicle,
Honda now again has proven its innovative ideas.
FCX fuel vehicle powered by the Honda FC stack is the realization of Honda's long
held effort of hydrogen-powered vehicles. The Honda FCX then on its launching will
be the first and only fuel cell vehicle certified by the EPA and California Air
Resources Board for regular commercial use.
Starting and operating a vehicle in cold weather and freezing temperatures is a
daunting technical barrier to the mass-market application of fuel cell technology.
Honda's answer to this problem is the Fuel Cell stack with its newly developed
electrolyte membranes and stamped metal separator structure for improved efficiency,
recycle ability, and operation over a greater range of temperatures.
Prior to the FC stack's introduction in the Honda FCX, public road evaluations in
the U.S and Japan is on going.
