Honda 'home refuelling' idea

29 August 2003: Home refuelling' is the concept behind a new version of Honda's Civic which goes on sale in the US next year powered by natural gas.

The new vehicle comes with a special refuelling unit that is mounted on a garage wall and allows the vehicle to be refuelled directly from household natural gas supply lines.

The refuelling unit is made by FuelMaker Corporation, a Canadian company in which Honda has a 20 per cent stake.

The company hopes to sell tens of thousands of the cars if consumers accept the concept in significant numbers.
