Honda Motor made its first global release of specifications for Honda Next Generation Fuel Cell Module and Honda Fuel Cell Power Generator at H2 & FC EXPO – the 23rd Int’l Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Expo at Tokyo Big Sight, Japan. Mass production of the Honda Next Generation Fuel Cell Module is scheduled to begin in 2027 (fiscal year ending 31 March 2028), with mass production of the Honda Fuel Cell Power Generator scheduled to begin in 2026.

The Honda Next Generation Fuel Cell Module is being independently developed by Honda as a successor to the current model Honda jointly developed with General Motors (GM).

In addition to achieving a rated output of 150 kW, the Honda Next Generation Fuel Cell Module will feature half of the production cost and more than double the durability compared to the current model. Moreover, the module was downsized by increasing the volumetric power density by more than three times, which increased the flexibility of installation layouts.
