Honda rolls out fuel cell in Japan, to lease 200 first year
Honda Motor Co. said Thursday that its Japan sales target for the first year is just 200 vehicles, all through leasing to government organizations, such as the Environment Ministry, and businesses. Honda, which also makes the Civic sedan, Odyssey minivan and Asimo robot, is a pioneer in fuel cell technology. Last month, Honda's president said two-thirds of the company's sales will be zero-emissions, including fuel cells and electric vehicles, hybrids and plug-ins by 2030.
