Automotive and stationary: Honda has revealed the specifications of its new hydrogen fuel cell generators
Honda Motor unveiled the Honda Next Generation Fuel Cell Module and Honda Fuel Cell Power Generator at the International Hydrogen and Fuel Cell H2 FC EXPO at Tokyo Big Sight, Japan.
Here's What We Know
Honda Next Generation Fuel Cell Module
This energy system for vehicles is independently developed by Honda. It will replace the current model, created in conjunction with US-based General Motors and installed in the Honda CR-V e:FCEV.

The Honda Next Generation Fuel Cell Module has a rated power output of up to 150 kW. At the same time, it differs from its predecessor by halving production costs and more than doubling the service life. In addition, the module has been reduced in size, making it easier to integrate into the vehicle.
