This practical sedan produces CO2 emission free energy that can be produced from a variety of sources and can be easily stored and transported. The fuel-cell model will be launched by the Japanese carmaker around 2015. The fuel-cell unit is situated under the specially designed body and so, the car can accommodate up to four passengers and boasts impressive luggage space. Also, this is not all.
