(The car was apparently approved for commercial use all the way back in 2002)  The 2005 version is powered by designed by Honda fuel cell stack.  The car is definitely “Clean” — its emissions are essentially water vapor.  Honda has been road testing its fuel cell vehicles in the US since 1999.  Now they have also a concept vehicle for 2008 model year.  This one looks really cool and will probably be very comfortable and useful car.  Here it is

(SWTA) has developed a new technology which apparently promises significant reductions in vehicle emissions and increase in fuel efficiency.

STWA has stated that they will introduce the product shortly. Tests have been done on Chinese motorcycle and have shown dramatic (per STWA) reduction in toxic emissions and 7% increase in fuel savings. Knowing what I do about pollution in China, such a technology would be great there, as well as in the rest of the world — So will keep checking this company’s progress and hopefully will be able to use the product.
