Honda to debut new hydrogen fuel cell module at ACT Expo

Honda's new hydrogen fuel cell module will make its first North American appearance at the Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo on April 28. 

"Honda hydrogen is open for business in North America with the fuel cell technology, the expertise and the supply chain to power a variety of zero-emissions products, including commercial trucking and stationary power generation," says David Perzynski, assistant manager of hydrogen solutions development at American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "Our production plan for the next generation Honda fuel cell module demonstrates our continued commitment to support hydrogen as an enabler for decarbonization." 

Honda will also showcase its Class 8 hydrogen fuel cell truck concept, powered by three Honda fuel cell modules, co-developed by Honda and GM over the last decade.

The Class 8 concept truck has a top speed of 70 mph and a driving range of more than 500 at GCW. It features a 120 kWh high voltage battery. 

The next generation hydrogen fuel cell module will enter production in 2027. It will reduce production costs by half, Honda says, with more durability and power density than its present fuel cell module.
