Bob: I don't think it is a waste of money for someone to order a fuel cell from any of the competitors, not if the buyer thinks they want to be involved with the technology in the future. It makes sense to try them out first. I think you will see similar announcements concerning ERC's product.

I have captured this from the Smart Money site: STUTTGART, Germany (Dow Jones)--German industrial group Daimler-Benz AG (G.DAI) and Shell International Oil Products BV said Monday they will pool research resources for low-emission vehicles. The research alliance will combine the fuel cell technology of Daimler's DBB Fuel Cell Engines GmbH with Shell's catalytic partial oxidation process, which transforms fuel into hydrogen-rich gas. My question to all is: does anyone out there know anything about Shell's catalytic partial oxidation process? How far along is it in research? How effective, efficient, etc? Regards Bob Wozney

from calstart.com 0/20/98 - D-Benz - Pace of Next 15 Years to Pass Last 50? Detroit, Michigan - A top Daimler-Benz official said today the pace of automobile development over the next 15 years will exceed that of the previous 50 years, in part because of changes spurred by integrated electronics and fuel cells. Helmut Petri, a member of Daimler-Benz's Board of Directors overseeing passenger-car development, made his prediction to attendees of "Convergence 1998," the International Congress on Transportation Electronics. Unlike today's cars, Petri said, "The car of the future will consist of networked electronics, around which the designers and flow engineers have wrapped an attractive skin." Daimler-Benz aggressively uses computers to design, test, control and market its cars; it has also displayed Internet-capable cars as well as fuel cell-powered vehicles. "You do not remain a technological leader through conservation, but rather through the courage to innovate," Petri said.
