2014 Honda Civic To Raise the Bar With The Coupe World Debut at 2013 SEMA Show

Honda has announced its line-up of production and concept models which include cars, motorcycles and power products ahead of the 43rd Tokyo Motor Show which will take place at Tokyo Big Sight from 20th November 2013. The Honda stand will include the Honda S660 Concept, and open top sports type mini-vehicle, the world premiere of the production model of the Urban SUV Concept and the Japan premiere of the NSX Concept.

  Honda released a sketch of the Honda FCEV Concept in advance of its world premier at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show on 20 November.  The concept model shows a potential styling direction for Honda's next generation fuel-cell electric vehicle (FCEV) launching in 2015. Honda has led the industry in the development and deployment of fuel-cell electric vehicles. In 2002, Honda was the first car manufacturer to begin a retail initiative with the leasing of its fuel-cell electric vehicles to fleet customers. Honda was also the first manufacturer to put a fuel-cell electric vehicle in the hands of an individual retail consumer in 2005. Today, around two dozen customers are driving the FCX Clarity – enjoying the benefits of driving this advanced technology vehicle, while also contributing valuable experience, helping Honda to advance fuel-cell technology for the future.

  The sleekly styled Honda FCEV Concept made its world debut at the L.A. Auto Show, showing a potential styling direction for Honda's next-generation fuel-cell vehicle anticipated to launch in the U.S. and Japan next year, then later in Europe. Honda's next generation fuel cell-electric vehicle will feature the world's first application of a fuel-cell powertrain packaged completely in the engine compartment of the car, allowing for efficiencies in cabin space as well as flexibility in the potential application of fuel cell technology to other vehicle types in the future.
