Hybrid choices will multiply until fuel cell technology arrives

While the Ford Focus FCV hybrid fuel cell vehicle appears no different than a conventional Focus, the floorpan contains a hydrogen fuel cell and auxiliary energy system that can supply electricity to the powertrain. A hydrogen tank is in the trunk. The FCV also has a nickel metal-hydride battery pack and a brake-by-wire regenerative braking system.
