GM, Honda to collaborate on fuel cell vehicles

Updated: July 2, 2013 11:17AM



Fuel cell vehicles have electric motors that are powered by a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen. The only byproducts are water vapor and heat, so there’s no pollution. But the lack of infrastructure to transport and store liquid hydrogen has been a barrier to the cars’ development.

GM and Honda already have more than 1,200 fuel cell patents between them, and both companies have experimental vehicle fleets.

Ford, Daimler and Renault-Nissan announced a similar plan to collaborate on hydrogen vehicles earlier this year.
