Fuel Cell Vehicles: A Cleaner Future for Transportation

The video discusses the leasing of fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) by Toyota and Honda to the Japanese government and the city of Los Angeles. FCVs, unlike electric cars, do not require recharging and can travel 300 kilometers before refueling. The technology, originating from the Apollo moon project, uses hydrogen and oxygen to generate electricity, producing only heat and water as byproducts. FCVs are environmentally friendly and could replace gasoline cars in the future.
