PSFK points to a Honda press release, announcing the introduction of the “revolutionary FCX, an advanced hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicle.”
Jon and Sandy Spallino of Redondo Beach, California, who signed a two-year lease on the vehicle, become some of the first non-fleet users of this environmentally-friendly transportation technology.
The Spallino family will also be among the first individuals to begin utilizing the first of California’s Hydrogen Highway refueling stations, a statewide infrastructure build out underway to offer hydrogen refueling station access to private individuals. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger announced the state’s commitment to a Hydrogen Highway in April of this year, creating a public and private partnership to build California’s Hydrogen Highway by 2010.
