Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. announced that it delivered a limousine version fuel cell vehicle (FCV) "X-TRAIL FCV" 05 model to Kanagawa Toshikoutsu Ltd. on February 19, 2007. Kanagawa Toshikoutsu will shortly initiate the world's first service that uses a limousine powered by fuel cells.

Although the vehicle's basic specifications are unchanged, the fare meter is housed in the glove box and a large space is secured in the rear seat zone with the front seats' slide range reduced, in consideration of its use as a limousine. Kanagawa Toshikoutsu plans to train drivers to be able to charge hydrogen by themselves at a hydrogen supply station, for example, during February and start a full-fledged service in March. Fare will be the same as standard limousines'.
