"GM and Honda Launch U.S. Production of Hydrogen Fuel Cells"
General Motors and Honda have commenced commercial production of hydrogen fuel cell systems through their joint venture in Michigan, marking a significant step towards offering zero-emission solutions beyond battery-electric vehicles. The fuel cell systems are seen as a potential replacement for diesel in various applications such as heavy-duty trucks and generators. Both automakers plan to introduce fuel cell vehicles, with Honda's expected to be based on the CR-V and primarily sold in California. While the production volume is initially modest, the companies are optimistic about the technology's potential, despite challenges such as consumer acceptance and infrastructure.
