Honda plans to manufacture a battery-electric and fuel cell powered car based on the new 2023 CR-V in Ohio beginning in 2024.
The fuel cell is the dream that refuses to die for some automakers. Having tried and failed to introduce more than a few dozen people to the joys of fuel cell deriving with the Clarity, Hondathat it will begin manufacturing a fuel cell vehicle based on the hugely popular CR-V at its Performance Manufacturing Center in Marysville, Ohio in 2024.
The PMC is designed to be a small volume specialty manufacturing facility that is focused on craftsmanship and hand assembled vehicles. Since opening in 2016, it has been responsible for production of the Acura NSX, several Acura PMC Edition vehicles, and Honda Performance Development race cars. Honda says this prior experience makes that facility uniquely suited to production of high quality fuel cell electric vehicles, which require special assembly procedures.
The all new 2023 CR-V features a rugged and sophisticated exterior design, a sporty and modern interior, along with increased space, comfort and performance, the company says. This 6th generation CR-V is already playing a key role in the Honda electrification strategy with CR-V hybrid electric models positioned at the top of the lineup and expected to represent about 50% of annual CR-V sales.
In an effort to support the wider introduction of fuel cell vehicles, Honda has invested more than $14 million in California’s hydrogen refueling network. This includes joining the public-private partnership called H2USA in May 2013, which brings together automakers, government agencies, hydrogen suppliers, and the hydrogen and fuel cell industries to coordinate research and identify cost effective solutions that can deliver affordable, clean hydrogen fuel in the United States.
