FIRST DRIVEABLE FUEL CELL INTRODUCED AT PARIS MOTOR SHOW GM Europe President Mike Burns welcomed members of the media to the Opel stand at the 100th anniversary Paris Motor Show yesterday as he introduced the first driveable fuel cell vehicle, "We are not only working on highly sophisticated future technology, like fuel cells, but also practical solutions, making everyday use of our products more effective and convenient." He adds, "We are also showing how one can 'shrink the world' by means of ergonomically integrating communication systems into cars. Using the Omega MV6 station wagon as a platform, we have a design study that includes elements of the Signum concept car that we showed at last year's Geneva Motor Show." The Paris Motor Show is the top European auto display of the year, alternating every other year with the Frankfurt Auto Show in Germany. It is open to the public Oct. 1-11.

>Ballard as a long term fuel cell supplier soon. Not very soon -- for obvious reasons. Just look at the electric vehicle. Sales and growth have been dismal. In the major industrialized countries, about 3000 or so vehicles are sold per year. Why? 1) Not cost effective. 2) Not convenient. At this point fuel cell powered vehicles are no different. Five or ten years from now things may change. Perhaps the infrastructure to support a large number of such vehicles will be there. For now the solution seems to be hybrid diesal/electric vehicles.
