Honda has released a sketch of the Honda FCEV Concept in advance of its world debut at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show on November 20.

A production version of the car will eventually be sold in Europe.

"The Honda FCEV Concept demonstrates the company’s vision for the future of personal mobility and our commitment to developing advanced alternative fuel vehicles," said Mike Accavitti, senior vice president of Honda in America.

"As we work toward the introduction of our next-generation fuel-cell vehicle in 2015, our long-term experience with fuel-cell technologies will help us pave a way towards a zero-emissions future."

In 2002, Honda was the first car manufacturer to begin a retail initiative with the leasing of its fuel-cell electric vehicles to fleet customers. Honda was also the first manufacturer to put a fuel-cell electric vehicle in the hands of an individual retail consumer in 2005. Today, around two dozen customers are driving the FCX Clarity – contributing valuable experience, helping Honda to advance fuel-cell technology for the future.
