Posted on Yahoo today: Source: Bloomberg DaimlerChrysler's NECAR 4 honoured as the best future oriented vehicle concept The fuel cell drives from strength to strength Zero-emission driving pleasure and a generous operating range were the decisive factors Hamburg, DaimlerChrysler's latest test automobile to be powered by the fuel cell, NECAR 4 (New Electric Car), was chosen today in Hamburg by the '1999 International Engine of the Year Awards' as the best engine concept for the future. 'By selecting NECAR 4 as the best engine concept by a convincing margin over its competitors, the jury has demonstrated considerable trust in the fuel cell activities of DaimlerChrysler', declared Graham Johnson, the editor of the specialist journal 'Engine Technology International', which organises the awards. 'This result shows that fuel cell technology will be the automotive propulsion system of the future. ...The prime considerations in the jury's decision were that NECAR 4 releases no emissions into the environment, has a generous operating range and exhibits favourable driving characteristics. 'Fuel cells point to the future of motoring'. With these words Steve Cropley, editor in chief of 'Autocar' and member of the international jury, explained the decision. 'I trust DaimlerChrysler's engineering ability.' 'We are very proud of the progress we have achieved in the development of fuel cell technology', said Dr Ferdinand Panik, head of DaimlerChrysler's Fuel Cell Project Group'. 'NECAR 4 is the world's best zero-emission vehicle and represents a significant milestone along the road to the market introduction of the fuel cell vehicle, planned for 2004.' BTIM
