Tokyo 2009: Suzuki previews three fuel cell concepts

I like the configuration of the SX4-FCV (Fuel-Cell Vehicle):


SX4-FCV (Fuel-Cell Vehicle)

The SX4-FCV combines a General Motors-produced high-performance fuel cell with a Suzuki-developed high-pressure (70MPa) hydrogen tank and a light, compact capacitor, which promotes driving performance by recovering energy during brake application and using it to reduce fuel-cell loading during acceleration. With a view to commercializing the SX4-FCV, Suzuki is testing it on public roads with government approval and using the resulting data in ongoing development.

Capacitors for charge storage, 10kpsi hydrogen tank - this is essentially the final / ultimate config for future FCV's and plug-in fuel cell vehicles.
