LA Motor Show: Honda brings mass-volume hydrogen power closer

HONDA has showcased its next generation hydrogen fuel cell technology, which is the first to fit entirely within a traditional engine bay.

With all its components in a single location, the FCEV benefits from huge freedom in design for the rest of the car.
