Honda looks down the road to alternative fuels

DETROIT – The 2006 North American International Auto Show, Detroit’s annual celebration of all that’s cool and new in the auto world, is well underway and already some of the biggest names in the business are showing why they’re considered forward-thinking car makers.

Take Honda for example, which on Sunday won both the prestigious North American Car of The Year and Truck of the Year awards for its Civic and Ridgeline brands. The Japanese carmaker is looking further down the road here in Detroit, showing off its future concepts for alternative automotive fueling and energy conservation, and illustrating the rapid development of its fuel cell technology program.
