本田(Honda)昨日发布了汽车业第一部面向零售客户的氢动力燃料电池汽车，定于2008年中交付使用。

Honda yesterday unveiled the auto industrys first hydrogen-powered fuel-cell vehicle destined for retail customers, who are due to receive the cars in mid-2008.

这家日本第二大汽车制造商宣称，将于明年夏季开始在加利福尼亚将此款FCX Clarity汽车"限量"租赁给消费者。

Japans second-largest carmaker said it would begin leasing the FCX Clarity to a "limited" number of consumers in California next summer.

此款四门轿车由一组氢燃料电池驱动，废气排放量为零，行驶里程可达270英里。

The four-door sedan, powered by a hydrogen fuel-cell stack, will have zero exhaust-pipe emissions and a range of 270 miles.

本田称，将收取客户大约600美元的月租金，从而使FCX Clarity成为普通用户负担得起的首款替代燃料汽车。

Honda said it would charge customers lease payments of about $600 a month, making the FCX Clarity the first of the alternative-fuel vehicles affordable to ordinary consumers.
