Cost of the fuel cell as passenger car drive system of the future

Beschreibung

The future of passenger car cannot rely on internal combustion engine. Taking
into account present state of the art technologies, the most obvious alternative is
fuel cell. The article investigates the way and possibilities of progressive transfer
from internal combustion engine to fuell cell based on the analysis of learning
curve. Analysis is limited to German car market and takes into account
experience of German car manufactures, who are well advanced in mastering
fuel cell technology and experimental small scale production. The result of
investigations indicates year 2015 as likely start of mass production of fuell cell
passenger cars.
