- Abstract
The article discusses the merger of Ford Motor Co. and DaimlerChrysler AG to purchase the automotive fuel-cell division of Ballard Power Systems Inc. in British Columbia with a $228 million deal. Ballard is considered as one of the leading developers of fuel cells which burn hydrogen and remain a long way from commercialization. The motor industry analysts have estimated the costs needed to come down many folds to make them competitive with internal-combustion engines. The merger of the two rival car companies is seen as an important move toward the eventual adaptation of fuel cells into the mainstream motor industry.
