Next Gen Honda Fuel Cell Module to make N American debut at ACT Expo 2025
23 April 2025
The Next Generation Honda Fuel Cell Module will make its first appearance in North America at the Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo starting 28 April. Set to enter production in 2027, the new module will reduce production cost by half while doubling durability and tripling volumetric power density, as compared to the Honda Fuel Cell (FC) module currently in use.
Honda continues to seek new business collaborations as the company expands its hydrogen business to achieve its global goal of zero environmental impact, including carbon neutrality for all products and corporate activities by 2050.
Honda has identified four core domains for the initial utilization of its new fuel cell module: fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), commercial fuel cell vehicles, stationary power stations and construction machinery.
