The Performance Manufacturing Center in Marysville celebrated the start of production of the 2025 Honda CR-V e:FCEV, the only fuel cell electric vehicle of its kind made in America. This vehicle integrates a U.S.-made fuel cell system with plug-in EV charging capability, aligning with Honda's commitment to carbon neutrality. The plant's experienced associates, known for their craftsmanship in building the Acura NSX, played a pivotal role in manufacturing this technically advanced vehicle. One Honda engineer highlighted the complexity of the CR-V e:FCEV, emphasizing the transition from producing a supercar to a hydrogen-powered SUV. The vehicle's production required new assembly processes, including integrating a fuel cell system and a plug-in EV battery. Additionally, the PMC was modified to accommodate the unique requirements of the CR-V e:FCEV, such as retrofitting the welding and paint departments for a multi-material unibody construction. The vehicle's fuel cell system, manufactured in Michigan through a joint venture between Honda and General Motors, powers the CR-V e:FCEV. As the production ramps up, the vehicle will initially be available in California due to existing hydrogen fuel stations. The article showcased the dedication and expertise of the PMC associates in bringing this innovative vehicle to life.
