DaimlerChrysler Unveils Hydrogen Gas Car Wednesday March 17 2:03 PM ET WASHINGTON (Reuters) - DaimlerChrysler AG (NYSE:DAJ - news) unveiled an environmentally friendly compact car Wednesday that turns hydrogen gas into electricity and leaves just a stream of water vapor for exhaust. But don't expect to be able to buy anything like it until 2004 when the company hopes it has brought down production costs and encouraged the distribution of suitable fuels.

Based on the Mercedes A-Class small car, the five-seater NECAR 4 can travel 280 miles before refueling. Its NECAR 3 predecessor unveiled in 1997 could carry only two people 250 miles because a mass of plumbing took over the back seat. DaimlerChrysler co-chairman Juergen Schrempp told reporters the race to demonstrate the technical viability of fuel cell vehicles was over. "Now we begin the race to make them affordable," he said. Environmental Protection Agency chief Carol Browner attended the unveiling and said it was an exciting technology that could reduce pollution and dependence on imported oil. "We look forward to the day when this car is available to any who want to do their part for a cleaner environment," Browner said... ~~~~~~ Best wishes, Tom
