STUTTGART, Germany and AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Oct 8, 2002 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- -- DaimlerChrysler will launch the world's first fleet of fuel cell passenger cars in the United States and Europe in 2003, the company said. The fuel cell vehicles, based on the Mercedes-Benz A-Class passenger car, will be called the "F-Cell."
"With these vehicles, we become the first manufacturer to put fuel cell cars on the road," said Prof. Ferdinand Panik, head of Fuel Cell Development at DaimlerChrysler. "The hydrogen-powered F-Cell cars are genuine zero- emission vehicles which have left the research stage and are now going to field testing."
Since introducing the first NECAR (New Electric Car) in 1994, DaimlerChrysler has led development of fuel cell technology, producing 20 concept vehicles, such as the NECAR series and the Chrysler Town & Country Natrium. These vehicles have been designed to operate on a variety of fuels, including methanol, gasoline, liquid and gaseous hydrogen and sodium borohydride, a borax-like compound. The F-Cell vehicles will be powered by hydrogen.
The fuel serves as a source of hydrogen which is combined with oxygen from the air in the fuel cell to produce electricity and drive an electric motor. The size and weight of the drive unit have been reduced considerably since early fuel cell vehicles, while performance has improved significantly.

But eventually, the price will come down. After that, the $&^*$ Arabs can drink their oil. Jihad that, jerks!!!
They don't need to "create" anything. My understanding is that fuel cells emit dihydrogen monoxide in gaseous form. The DHMO activists are already on it.
Wrongo. 
You must be thinking from the fallacy of the crash of the Hindenberg in 1937. Recent research has shown what really caused the explosion was a fire caused by a rapid ignition of the canvas covering of the airship. We have found out the doping compound on the canvas covering of the Hindenberg was a combination of powdered aluminum and nitrocellulose--in effect, solid rocket fuel. It was in short a flying bomb waiting to happen.
In reality, if hydrogen burns at least most of its energy will be expended straight up, unlike natural gas, which expends its energy from an explosion in every direction.
"A rose by any other name is still a rose."
Let's see: "dihydrogen"(DH) = H2; "monoxide"(MO) = O. So, "dihydrogen monoxide"(DHMO) = H2O. Hey, wait a minute, isn't H2O = "WATER"?
Yes, I'm being sarcastic. But, the enviro-Nazis would either be too stupid to know that, or too scummy to tell the truth.
I'm not sure how comforting that is.
Your sarcasm is sadly misplaced. You clearly do not understand the magnitude of the threat.
