Overview: Due to the recent increase in worldwide gasoline prices, as well as ongoing public and governmental pressure for a more environmentally friendly and fuel efficient means of transportation, automotive manufacturers are developing product lines that incorporate true alternatives to the gas-powered drive trains that are the hallmark of the industry. These manufacturers' ultimate goal is to adopt fuel cell technology for all vehicle energy requirements. However, fuel cells are not likely to be ready for volume production for at least a decade. This is primarily due to the fact that while fuel cells are a promising technology, they also have multiple drawbacks which must be resolved before they can become truly viable.
