Une voiture à pile à combustible ne produit aucune émission et accroît l'efficacité énergétique. [...] La voiture de l'avenir s'arrêtera à Ottawa aujourd'hui dans le cadre d'une tournée au Canada. Le prototype de la Ford Focus est un véhicule à pile à combustible propulsé par une pile à hydrogène Ballard. Ses avantages sont l'absence d'émissions (lorsque l'hydrogène est produit à partir de sources renouvelables), une plus grande efficacité énergétique et un fonctionnement silencieux. 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A0%20pile%20%C3%A0%20combustible
