Honda Environmental Technology Advances with Honda Accord Hybrid and Honda Fuel Cell Stack

Employing Variable Cylinder Management technology (VCM), Honda
Accord Hybrid is the first hybrid vehicle to deactivate three of
its engine's six cylinders in certain conditions like highway
cruising for greater fuel efficiency without affecting its
performance. 

The new 2005 V6 Accord Hybrid integrates the fuel economy of a
four cylinder compact Civic and high-level performance.

Combining VCM with Honda's Integrated Motor Assist hybrid
technology, Honda Insight and Civic Hybrid captured four of the
top five slots in the EPA 2004 fuel economy ratings. In 2005,
Honda-developed fuel cell stack featuring increased performance
and fuel efficiency, reduced cost and the capability to start in
below freezing temperatures.

Leading the pioneering efforts for the development and
application of leading edge environmental technologies including
the first Low Emissions (LEV) and Ultra-Low Emissions (ULEV)
vehicles and the first commercially certified fuel cell vehicle,
Honda now again has proven its innovative ideas.

FCX fuel vehicle powered by the Honda FC stack is the
realization of Honda's long held effort of hydrogen-powered
vehicles. The Honda FCX then on its launching will be the first
and only fuel cell vehicle certified by the EPA and California
Air Resources Board for regular commercial use.

Starting and operating a vehicle in cold weather and freezing
temperatures is a daunting technical barrier to the mass-market
application of fuel cell technology. Honda's answer to this
problem is the Fuel Cell stack with its newly developed
electrolyte membranes and stamped metal separator structure for
improved efficiency, recycle ability, and operation over a
greater range of temperatures.

Prior to the FC stack's introduction in the Honda FCX, public
road evaluations in the U.S and Japan is on going.
