Honda will launch a version of its popular CR-V compact crossover<\/a> powered by a hydrogen fuel cell, the automaker announced on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The hydrogen-sipping CR-V will arrive in 2024 and be built at the former plant of the Acura NSX supercar, located in Marysville, Ohio. NSX production came to an end<\/a> at the specialist plant earlier in November.<\/p>\n

In fuel-cell vehicles, hydrogen is combined with oxygen inside a fuel-cell stack in a process known as electrolysis. The only byproducts are electricity, which is used to power an electric drive system, and water, which is released to the atmosphere.<\/p>\n

In the fuel-cell CR-V, Honda will also install a battery that the fuel cell can top up. There will also be a plug so owners can charge the battery at home, which will help alleviate the issue of the lack of hydrogen filling stations.<\/p>\n

In this sense, the vehicle is like a conventional plug-in hybrid, but with a fuel cell instead of a gas engine. Mercedes-Benz had a similar design for its fuel-cell GLC-Class<\/a> built in limited numbers a few years ago.<\/p>\n

Honda has had a handful of fuel-cell vehicles on sale in the past, the most recent being the Clarity Fuel Cell<\/a> that arrived for 2017 and bowed out last year. Honda is also a member of the Hydrogen Council<\/a>, an initiative representing automakers and energy companies, and which aims to promote hydrogen. It’s all part of Honda’s plan to exclusively sell zero-emission vehicles by 2040<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
