This comprehensive report closely examines automakers' multibillion-dollar development of fuel cell technology and its potential to revolutionize the automotive industry.

With the likelihood that fuel cells will be used in mass-produced vehicles as early as 2003 - nearly a decade earlier than previous estimates - the fuel cell powered vehicle is expected to make up about 7% of the total market share by 2011. Fuel Cell Powered Vehicles is the most current and complete source of information on this innovative technology.

Written and compiled by Daniel J. Holt, former editor of Automotive Engineering International magazine, this detailed report offers an extensive analysis of the use of fuel cells in automobile propulsion, including a history of fuel cell technology and a discussion of the challenges that lie ahead.
