I say the more publicity Fuel cells get, and hydrogen in particular the better for all of us. DCH is not a competitor of Ballard, in fact, Ballard is a customer of DCHT.
DCH has stated that they believe it is their sensors, that will play a large role in FC vehicles; so I say lead on Ballard, Ford and Chrysler!

David Haberman, vice president of technology and planning, stated "DCH's proprietary hydrogen and
natural gas sensors provide fast, accurate gas measurement that is necessary for both integrated safety
and feedback control in refueling systems. The transportation applications demand chemical selectivity
to prevent false signals and the Robust Hydrogen Sensor and Universal Gas Sensor are both designed
to provide high signal confidence. Based on our discussions with Ford and General Motors, we
believe that the use of DCH equipment in the production of these vehicles, on-board these vehicles
and in the refueling infrastructure will be specified by both OEMs and the evolving regulations."
