Honda Leases FC Stack-Featuring Sub-freezing Temperature Start-up Capability to Hokkaido Prefectural Government

Tokyo - Honda Motor (TSE: 7267) delivered a Honda FC Stack-equipped FCX to the Hokkaido Prefectural Government for lease on January 27. This car is the world's first fuel cell vehicle capable of starting in sub-freezing temperatures.

The Honda FC Stack features a stamped metal separator structure and newly developed electrolytic membranes. The number of parts used in the new stack is only about 50% that used in the previous stack, and the output density is more than double, resulting in world-leading high performance.

Further, use of newly developed alomatic electrolytic membranes greatly improves durability and makes possible power generation at temperatures ranging from 20 deg C (-4 deg F) to +95 deg C (+203 deg F).
