Honda Comments About "Honda, GM and BMW Form Alliance for Fuel Cell Vehicles"

Tokyo, Japan, Aug 4, 2005: (JCN Newswire) Honda is participating in the LH Consortium (Liquid Hydrogen Consortium), whose objective is to develop a standard for the coupling mechanisms of liquid hydrogen tanks. This is merely a part of our comprehensive research into possible future hydrogen supply mechanisms and does not involve joint development of fuel cell vehicles.

Honda realizes that is essential to research hydrogen supply mechanisms from a variety of approaches and this is the reason for its participation in this consortium.
