The NECAR (New Electric Car)
On 13 April 1994 Daimler-Benz unveiled a fuel cell-powered vehicle in the research centre in Ulm, Germany, based on the MB 100 and christened the "NECAR" (New Electric Car). All the vehicle produced in the way of emissions was non-combusted air and steam. The NECAR was developed in close cooperation with the Canadian firm Ballard Power Systems, based in Vancouver.
