NEWS: The Spallinos Become the First Family to Lease Hydrogen-Powered, Zero-Emissions Vehicle

ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: Video, hard copy requests, contact information and more available at http://www.prnewswire.com/broadcast/22032/press.shtml

STORY SUMMARY:

American Honda Motor Co., Inc., announced today the lease of its FCX, an advanced hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicle. At a press conference held at the Peterson Automotive Museum, Honda named Jon and Sandy Spallino of Redondo Beach, California as the world's first "fuel cell family," having signed an agreement to lease a 2005 Honda FCX for a period of two years.

Honda is the only automotive manufacturer to certify its fuel cell vehicle for regular daily use and the first to offer its technology to an individual customer. The zero-emissions Honda FCX is the first and only hydrogen vehicle to ever be certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and California's Air Resources Board.

The Spallino family will be among the first individuals to begin utilizing the first of California's hydrogen highway refueling stations, a statewide infrastructure build out underway to offer hydrogen refueling station access to private individuals. The hydrogen fuel cell produces electricity powering an electric motor. Its only emissions is water.
