GM And Honda Will Produce Hydrogen Cells Vehicles 

It seems that automaker industry is gearing up to produce higher fuel efficient vehicles. General Motors and Honda are getting together to produce the hydrogen fuel cell cars by 2020. Both the automaker will work together for over 7 years to produce the hydrogen powered vehicles. Both automakers are also focusing to cut emissions without hitting the manufacturing cost.

When the electrical cars were introduced the interest vanished from the automakers plan to build the hydrogen cars. But these two giant manufacturers have indicated the revival of the interest in the hydrogen vehicles. We can see that hydrogen-powered vehicles have some advantages over the electrical vehicles as hydrogen cars can drive up to 400 miles and can refuel in just 3 minutes. But the electrical vehicle takes almost 8 hours to be recharged, said by the automakers.

The President and CEO of Honda Takanobu Ito said in a company statement that fuel cell electric vehicles have some definite edges among the all zero CO2 emission technologies. The range and refueling time is as good as the conventional gasoline cars. He also added that both automakers are focusing to create advanced system that will be more affordable and capable.

Both the American and Japanese giant automakers will share their previous and future research at the joint research facilities at Michigan and Japan. The agreement between both these automakers does not including the manufacturing of the vehicle.
