Honda Concept H Excites Geneva's Nice Little Show Author: Katie Jones The Geneva Motor Show is often called "a nice little show" because of its carefree feel and its easy-to-navigate show floor. The show neither has the biggest attendance of the auto industry's celebrities nor the most car debuts but it always manages to pull plenty of interest. Usually, the show is dominated by European cars. This time around, Honda, a Japanese automaker, erases that stigma to make Europeans adore the Concept H. The Concept H, short for Honda's Small Hybrid Sports Concept, bridged the gap between European and Asian concepts with its exciting auto features that deliver a unique fusion of advanced hybrid technology and fun-to-drive sports car attributes. The car is engineered to take the slot above the Civic Hybrid - the automaker's gas electric fleet. The Concept H is meticulously designed to bring in a bunch of promising hybrid features without necessarily appearing like one. The concept was designed by the Honda R&D Europe which is based in Offenbach, Germany. It radiates the idea that a car can deliver a thrilling compact sports car feel and at the same time have a low environmental impact. Modern Honda body parts are integrated to the car to achieve that head-turning grandeur. Another interesting concept from Honda is the FCX that uses the automaker's advanced fuel cell technology. The Honda FCX Concept will set its wheels for the first time in Europe at the Geneva show. The concept from the automaker features a newly developed compact, a proficient Honda FC Stack and a sleek and catchy short-nose body. The concept also delivers a comfy huge cabin and modern styling with remarkable enhancements in environment performance and power output. The Honda FCX Concept delivers a range of 570 km driving performance and a top speed which is limited to 160 km/h. The limited marketing of the entirely new fuel cell vehicle is scheduled to begin in Japan and the United States next year. Aside from concentrating on the power auto features of its lineup, Honda is also focusing on environment concerns linked to global warming. The continuing passion is reflected in its next-generation diesel engines that use world-first technology to curb emissions down to the level of petrol engines. To boost the upgrading of diesel engines, a cutting-edge catalytic converter is now being used by the automaker. The said catalytic converter limits the emissions of nitrogen oxides to meet the standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Honda's catalytic converter showcases a ground-breaking system that uses the reductive reaction of ammonia to 'detoxify' oxides of nitrogen (NOx) by converting them into harmless nitrogen (N2). Compared to the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems used by other companies, Honda's latest technology uses ammonia generated within the catalytic converter. The automaker intends to introduce the sophisticated next-generation diesel engine within three years.
