1 FCV Demonstration program and Future Prospects Honda R&D Co., Ltd. Yuji Kawaguchi

2 Background of JHFC Demonstration Drive April March April March April March April March Public invitation JHFC Promotion Committee Construction of hydrogen refueling station Construction of park JHFC Park Opening Ceremony Demonstration drive (FCV passenger cars, FCV buses

3 Models Participating in JHFC ＦＣＨＶ Ｘ ＴＲＡＩＬ ＦＣＶ ＦＣＸ F-Cell Mitsubishi ＦＣＶ Wagon R FCV Hydrogen3 ＦＣＨＶ-ＢＵＳ

4 JHFC Test Drive Route in Tokyo Capital Area 12 driving root are set for each refueling station Ome Station Sagami Station City High-way Senzyu Station Ariake Station Tokyo Capital Area Asahi Station Kawasaki Station Tokyo Bay Kanagawa pref. Tsurumi Station HatanoStation Daikoku Station (JHFC park) Chiba pref.

5 JHFC Hydrogen refueling station Ome Station Tokyo Senzyu Station Kanagawa Sagamihara Station Ariake Station Hatano Station Daikoku JHFC Park

6 JHFC Drive Caravan JHFC Fuel cell vehicle Caravan Tokyo Aichi ( ) Depart from Ariake Toyota Museum exhibition Expo Seto venue Refill Expo Nagahisate venue exhibition Hamamatsu city general industry exhibition hall exhibition Ariake hydrogen station Start ceremony Hadano hydrogen station Exhibition for press & charge Toyota Stadium exhibition/test drive Shizuoka Sumpu Park Test drive & charge

7 History of Honda Fuel Cell Vehicle In House Test Public road testing FCX-V1 FCX-V3 FCX-V2 FCX-V4 Vehicle Lease Start Certified by MLIT Third Part Driving Motor Vehicle Type Certification

8 FCV demonstration Test 4-Year Activities Honda own fleet Experimental car drive on Public road Leased car drive Demonstration in cold areas Yakushima fleet JHFC Demonstration Public road test

9 Driving Distance of FCX Leased Car and JHFC Drive Car In-house data A B JHFC C D E

10 FCX driving range per charge In the demonstration drive, driving area can be spread if there are stations every 150 km. In-house data Percentage

11 Honda FCX Fuel Economy in Demonstration Drive Load distribution in the city is higher than 10 to 15 mode. Fuel economy of FCV is better that gasoline car under same drive conditions. Fuel economy good Gasoline car drive in city JHFC demonstration drive in city A/C ON, average Fuel economy Vehicle load High load

12 Demonstration in cold weather area Usage in Hokkaodo Pref.

13 Caravan in Hokkaido Wakkanai Rumoi Sapporo From Sapporo to Wakkanai in Hokkaido Pref. 593km Driven with no problem

14 Yakushima Fleet

15 Yakushima Fleet In support of the study on renewable energy system using Yakushima s abundant water resource, develop drive experiment in world s natural asset Yakushima using fuel cell vehicle Kagoshima University, etc. Kagoshima University, etc. Installation of hydrogen station facilities Studies on hydrogen energy communities Honda Yakushima Denko Yakushima Denko FCX test drive Identify drive environment effects Hydrogen refueling station operation and maintenance

16 Yakushima Fleet

17 Summary of Demonstration Tests Could fuel charge within 150 km for more than 80% of one driving in the public road driving Verified extensive drive frequency from low to high load in public road driving Actual fuel economy of the fuel cell vehicle also exceeded the gasoline vehicle Good reputation also from lease customers

18 Summary of Demonstration Tests Customer s comments can be summarized into following two points: Excellent driving performance Uneasiness to fuel charging Improve the efficiency for fuel cell power plant system Weight reduction of fuel cell system Increase on board fuel volume Need for further improvement of driving range

19 JHFC Phase 1 conclusion Identify FCV passenger car, bus) fuel economy in actual city driving Quantitatively verify FCV fuel economy superiority by comparing with existing ICV and HEV Development of Public Relationship activities of FCV and hydrogen refueling stations in various events
