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. 1, record 2, French, - voiture%20%C3%A0%20pile%20%C3%A0%20combustible

Fuel-cells create electricity via a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, much like a miniature electric power plant. A single fuel-cell generates less than a single volt of electricity, so many cells are stacked in a series connection -- a "fuel-cell stack" -- to produce enough voltage to power a car. 1, record 3, English, - fuel%2Dcell%20hybrid%20vehicle
