In the early 2009, the product range of technologically mature hydrogen vehicles
included:
– Honda FCX Clarity 79 is a 100 kW (136 HP) hydrogen-electric car, with
a range of 430 kilometres, fuel consumption at a level of 3.3 litre per 100
km and zero-emission of noxious substances. The hydrogen tank capacity
is 171 litres. A new generation PEMFC fuel cell generates electric power
stored in a lithium-ion battery. This is the first passenger car powered by
hydrogen alone;
– BMW 7 Hydrogen 80 is a classical combustion car launched in 2007, which
can use hydrogen as fuel. It has a 260 HP, 12-cylinder engine, giving acceleration
from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.5 seconds. Electronically-controlled
maximum speed is 230 km/h. The BMW series 7 Hydrogen engine has
a push-button dual propulsion system, which can be easily switched between
hydrogen and traditional petrol fuel. The car is fitted with a traditional
74-litre petrol tank and an extra tank to hold up to 8 kg of liquid hydrogen.
The dual propulsion secures a range of more than 600 kilometres;

Honda FCX family was inaugurated in 1999 with the FCX model fitted with PEFC cells (proton exchange
membrane) made by Ballard Power Systems. In 2002 and 2006, upgraded FCX models were
presented, culminating in the launching of the technologically mature Honda FCX Clarity in 2008.
