Promise of fuel-cell car long way off

Article Abstract:

Fuel-cell cars have still a long way to go before they will be widely used and produced in mass by automakers. For one, automakers such as DaimlerChrysler, will still have to come up with technology that can supply all existing needs related with the production of such cars. Automakers will also have to solve existing production problems, such as weight, cost and noise to engage in mass production.
