The Honda FCX Clarity Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) was named 2009 World Green Car at a press conference hosted by the New York International Auto Show in New York on April 9, 2009. The FCX Clarity FCEV rose above 22 contenders nominated by 59 World Car jurors from 25 countries worldwide. This prestigious award further recognizes Honda’s commitment to environmental leadership.
Honda has a long history of environmental leadership, including the introduction of America's first mass produced hybrid, the Honda Insight, and the first vehicle to meet California’s low emission vehicle standards, well in advance of regulatory requirements. Acknowledgement of our commitment to innovation can be seen by Honda’s topping the rankings as the country’s greenest automaker by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS)―for the fourth time in a row.*
