Honda’s FCX Clarity is the world’s first production hydrogen-powered fuel cell car. It runs on hydrogen, pumps out only pure water from its exhaust pipe and emits no harmful pollution.

According to Honda the FCX offers three times better fuel efficiency than a traditional, petrol-powered car.

The car has a range of 280 miles and a top speed of 100mph. It reaches 60 mph in 10 s.

It costs about $50 to fill the tank, which is equivalent to about 70 mpg.

The highly explosive hydrogen gas is stored safely in a pressurised tank in the boot.

Honda plans initially to produce about 70 of the eco-cars a year.

The car will be leased for about $600 a month, which is equivalent to a purchase price of about $50,000.
