Honda FCX Clarity Engines and Transmissions

The Honda FCX Clarity uses a fuel-cell system that generates electricity from hydrogen. Power goes to a single electric motor driving the front wheels through a direct automatic-style transmission—no conventional gearbox shifting. The Fuel Cell AT Sedan demonstrates this seamless, quiet powertrain.
