Honda predicts a bright future for hydrogen fuel-cell cars, saying mass production of the next-generation, eco-friendly vehicles may happen within a decade.

“I would say there’s no future for the auto industry without fuel cell cars,” Takeo Fukui, the president of Japan’s second-largest automaker, said at a conference in Tokyo on the auto industry.

“We are making significant efforts in the development of fuel-cell cars,” he said, presenting video footage of its trial-based FCX Concept, a stylish sedan with low height and smooth curve lines.

Japanese automakers have achieved major success by pioneering eco-friendly cars including hybrids, which have appealed to US consumers at a time of high oil prices.
