Honda said today in Japan that it will assemble an all-new hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) based on the recently launched CR-V compact SUV starting in 2024 at its Performance Manufacturing Center (PMC)* in Marysville, Ohio.

The new CR-V-based FCEV might become North America’s first production vehicle to combine a plug-in feature with FCEV technology in one model, which enables the driver to charge the onboard battery to deliver EV driving around town with the option of hydrogen refueling for longer trips.
