Honda’s Steps to date: • 1. Design and deliver FCV for a real customers (Starting with City of LA, 2002) • Confirm FCV Freeze-capable performance (New York State Gov’t, Winter 2004) • Deliver FCV for individual consumer use (Starting in So. California, June 2005) Start of Individual Consumer Leases Consumer use will be the key to AFV success - Effort on vehicle technology and market-based activity, but, where do we go from here?

FCV Summary Fuel cell vehicle is the most promising technology for lowest GHG and use of sustainable energy sources. The 2005/6 FCX is powered by Honda FC Stack with the breakthrough ability to start and operate in sub-freezing temperatures, making it possible to place the car in northern regions. Honda is taking a comprehensive approach that includes the development of both fuel cell and refueling technologies towards a hydrogen society. Over the next decade and beyond, need improvements to resolve technical hurdles and reduce cost.
