1999 Honda FCX

Exhibited at the 2000 Chicago Auto Show, the FCX (Fuel Cell Experimental) was Honda’s idea for a future Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV). Remarkably slim and compact, with a short nose for maneuverability and a sizeable forward-mounted cabin, the FCX was designed based on a Twin Solid concept. The floor and cockpit are separate entities with distinct roles. Environment-friendly, the experimental power plant ran on methanol. By extracting hydrogen from methanol and combining it with oxygen to create a chemical reaction, the FCX was able to generate electricity and thus drive a motor.
