Honda has completed a handful of zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell cars.

The FCX Clarity will only be available to customers in a few Southern

California cities -- those with hydrogen filling stations. The Clarity boasts

a range of 270 miles between fill-ups and a top speed of 100 miles per

hour.

Honda's new zero-emission, hydrogen fuel cell car rolled off a Japanese

production line Monday and is headed to Southern California, where

Hollywood is already abuzz over the latest splash in green motoring.

The FCX Clarity, which runs on hydrogen and electricity, emits only water

and none of the noxious fumes believed to induce global warming. It is

also two times more energy efficient than a gas-electric hybrid and three

times that of a standard gasoline-powered car, the company says.
