Honda Clarity to Release in California in 2016

California drivers are unique in that they often are granted the opportunity to purchase vehicles that the rest of the country does not. Because of the more stringent emissions standards here in the Golden State, automakers have been developing ultra-efficient autos specifically for California customers for well over a decade, and now the Honda brand is looking to add to that list with the all-new Honda Clarity Fuel Cell sedan, which will find its way to your San Diego, CA Honda dealership in the coming months.

For those who have no idea what separates hydrogen fuel cell vehicles from other green options like hybrids or EVs, it’s very simple. These automobiles use a fuel made from hydrogen which, when consumed by the car, emits only water vapor back into the air. For those not interested in doing the math on that, it means the exact number of emissions coming out of these vehicle’s exhaust is “zero,” which should be more than enough to get Kearny Mesa, CA drivers extremely excited.

Honda engineers, of course, are pretty excited, too.

"Honda believes that hydrogen can play a critical role in addressing global climate change and accelerating progress toward a more sustainable, ultra-low carbon mobility future," said Steve Center, vice president of the Environmental Business Development Office at American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "We are excited to deliver the all-new zero-emissions Clarity Fuel Cell, a spacious five-passenger fuel cell sedan with the range and refueling time of a conventional car.  The Clarity can meet customer needs for performance, safety and advanced telematics, while addressing society's environmental and energy concerns."
