Honda has revealed its latest innovation, the Next Generation Fuel Cell Module, at the Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo in North America. This module, developed in partnership with GM, is a significant upgrade over Honda's current system. Scheduled for production in 2027, the new module promises to cut production costs in half, double durability, and triple volumetric power density. With a maximum net output of 150kW and an efficiency of 59.8%, it represents a leap forward in fuel cell technology. Honda has outlined four key areas for implementing the module: fuel cell electric vehicles, commercial vehicles, stationary power stations, and construction machinery. This move underscores Honda's dedication to utilizing hydrogen for decarbonization efforts. Additionally, Dr. Mike Bolen's appointment as director for North America at Helix, a UK electric motor manufacturer, signals further advancements in green technology.
