Exhibited at the 2000 Chicago show, the FCX (Fuel Cell Experimental) was Honda’s idea for a future Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV). Extremely slim and compact, with a short nose for maneuverability and large forward-mounted cabin, the FCX was designed based on a Twin Solid concept, whereby 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.
