+ + wikinews Tōkyō (Japan), 04.07.2008 - The automotive group Honda has clearly positioned itself in the international race for the best alternative to pure internal combustion engine for driving cars. The managers of the group rely on the fuel cell car. This becomes clear in a statement made by the CEOs Takeo Fukui, which he held on Wednesday 2 July engaging in Tokyo. "We are considering at this time, no battery-powered electric car," he told journalists. Fukui also called the fuel cell car as a "long-only alternative."
headlines Honda made recently with the announcement that the series production of the hydrogen car "FCX Clarity" is underway. Honda currently has two major facing challenges: Unit prices per vehicle are too high, and it is still lacking in a service station network. Both factors suggest currently against the rapid spread of the vehicles. On the U.S. market, Honda scores with fuel-efficient models. Unlike the major U.S. manufacturers, the Company managed to keep its sales figures.
