Here's a USATODAY article on it: http://www.usatoday.com/money/autos/reviews/healey/2005-06-16-a-class_x.htm And JJ, wires on poles are much cheaper and they aren't that big of a deal when most of your nation is country. It would be ridiculous to make them underground. Maybe overseas in big cities and smaller locations, but not in the big ol' USA. This is an awesome concept, I especially love the front grill.

I remember reading that a while back, or am I wrong? If that is the case, then using an SUV has nothing to do with packaging. I am all for fuel cell, but currently it pollutes the earth more to mass produce Hydrogen for cars, then to burn regular petro/gas. Didn’t Mercedes package fuel cell into their very tiny old A-Class?

However, the issue of electric wire on poles is simple economics. It is not some states, but every state in the USA that strings wire on poles. Only in high population density areas are electric wires placed underground. It cost about 10 cents/mile to string wires on poles. To bury them underground costs more than $1.00/mile.

In 10 years from now the technoligy will be at a pace that every carmaker has several models in his range. Right now Germany has buses, taxis, minivans and even ambulances driving around on fuelcells. At Mercedes and BMW some execs drive in the biggest cars with electric power and fuelcells. Oil companies?!....they will even go the same way, as someone has to supply the fuel of whatever source it comes. Oil companies have the infrastructure, so as soon as there is a market, they will follow. The car industry will create the market, in ten fifteen years someone in an old school gaz guzzling SUV will look obsolete. Why are some (Americans) scared of progress, I guess, the same reason why in some states they still have the electricity wires on poles, and they still build wooden houses that blow away during every hurricane.....people, look forward!!!

Water reduced into its constituent elemental gases of oxygen and hydrogen by hydrolysis. However, it is more like that the hydrogen will be derived from hydrocarbons such as natural gas (methane) or propane. HoosierRon, The hydrogen can come from water.

Nevermind even trying to explain this. I have driven a fuel cell powerd luminia and tahoe that my university built. The weight of the fuel cell equipment is considerable and currently just works better in a larger platform then a smaller one. Once the technology is developed more it will be able to be used in smaller vehicles. In addition using fuel cells in large commercial vehicles like buses, cube vans, UPS/FedEx package trucks etc. The centeral fueling location makes more sense for the hydrogen supply.

If I had a hole in the ground even though it may have alot of volume does it have any mass? No, the more volume the less mass usually, unless it takes more materials to make more volume which results in more mass. If I had a plastic bottle and a glass one both having the same amount of volume, their weight is unaffected by the volume. Their weight is affected by the materials I agree with JC2. Good for him giving credit when credit is due, unlike the rest of you who can't digest that this is new technology and won't just make it to production without some serious undergoing.

And what do you think that volume creates?? It creates mass. You can't fit the fuel cell equipment in a sub compact not with todays technology. Fuel cell equipment weighs a lot as well and so better to put it in a larger vehicle to spread the weight around. If you look at Jeeps old Commander fuel cell concept http://www.thecarconnection.com/Auto_News/Green_Machines/Jeeps_Commander.S196.A1715.html They had to use a full size SUV to get all of the technology to fit on a platform. This concept looks a little smaller so yeah they are making progress. You will probably see lots of fuel cell buses in the future as the technology makes even more sense for those kind of large commercial vehicles. Undecided….

And then come back and say "put it into production already!" I give GM lots of credit for this car. 300 mile range is fairly impressive. I love the way it looks, it's very futuristic and cool looking. It reminds me of a Subaru B9 Tribeca for some strange reason.

Again I guess this 1 billion $$ investment is paying off not only for BMW but GM as well, let's just see about DCX. :) Americans need to put their technologies in ACTION, not in CONCEPT. :(

Yet ANOTHER fuel cell concept with technology that we may never see, and by the time they finally bring it to market I will be way too old to drive it! Let's face it, the oil companies have everyone in a stranglehold, and they are also going to choke off any technology that will lower the country's oil consumption, as this is HOW THEY MAKE THEIR BIG PROFITS! So, I'll pass on getting excited about this new fuel cell marvel..... My respponse: Big deal!!!
