A 50-50 joint venture between General Motors and Honda established to manufacture next-generation hydrogen fuel cell systems. The facility produces fuel cell systems for transportation and other applications, featuring improved durability, lower costs, and enhanced performance compared to previous generation systems.

Real-world demonstration testing of a prototype hydrogen fuel cell-powered heavy-duty truck on public roads to verify its potential, practicality, and operational management.

Deployment of a 3.5 kW hydrogen fuel cell system (H2Rex) at the Michinoeki-Namie site to provide power and heat, utilizing hydrogen from the nearby Fukushima Hydrogen Energy Research Field.

A fuel cell system based on a solid polymer fuel cell stack that eliminates the need for an external humidifier and can rapidly change power output.

Honda's upcoming fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) that will combine hydrogen power with a plug-in feature, based on their popular CR-V model.
