Honda Motor Co., Ltd. has revealed the future of hydrogen technology with its next-generation fuel cell module , which promises to transform the clean energy market. The breakthrough was unveiled at the H2 & FC EXPO, the international hydrogen exhibition, held in Tokyo. According to the company, mass production will begin in 2027, with the fuel cell power generator scheduled for 2026.
Features of Honda’s new fuel cell module
The main feature of the new fuel cell module is its production cost, which has been halved compared to the previous model. In addition, the durability of the module has been doubled , while the volumetric power density has increased more than three times, offering greater installation possibilities and flexibility in its application. With a nominal power of 150 kW and a maximum efficiency of 59.8% , Honda demonstrates its leadership in hydrogen innovation .
The Honda fuel cell power generator will also be introduced as a key solution for large facilities such as factories and offices. This generator offers reliable backup power, with the ability to operate cleanly and quickly. Furthermore, being fully scalable and emission-free, the generator is positioned as a further step towards global decarbonisation .
Honda builds new hydrogen plant in Japan
The Japanese firm, which has been researching and developing hydrogen technologies for more than 30 years, is looking to expand the application of its energy solutions in various sectors. From fuel cell vehicles to construction machinery, Honda is establishing itself as a key player in the transition to a sustainable future.
To meet the growing demand for this technology, Honda has announced the construction of a new plant in Japan that will begin operations at the end of fiscal year 2028. This plant will be dedicated to the production of the next-generation fuel cell module, using the facilities of the engine factory in the city of Moka, Tochigi.
