2013年上半年车市胜负大盘点

动力技术：赢家

燃料电池

    燃料电池动力技术一向是雷声大雨点小（还有没有人记得，通用汽车曾信誓旦旦地表示，要在2010年前推出一款量产级的燃料电池轿车?），不过最近它又火了起来。通用和本田（Honda）宣布，两家将联手研发一款燃料电池动力汽车，在2020年前投放市场。随着一直致力这项技术的本田的加入，这次合作显得多少更靠谱了些。这两家公司也表示将共同开发用于燃料电池的氢燃料的存储技术。而丰田公司（Toyota）最近也确认将在2014年推出一款燃料电池汽车。

Powertrain technology: Winner

Fuel cells

    Long the subject of overpromising and under-delivering (anybody remember GM's vow to get a marketable car on the road by 2010?), fuel cells are fashionable again. GM and Honda announced they're teaming up to develop a fuel-cell system for mass-market cars by 2020. The presence of Honda (HMC), a steadfast supporter of fuel cells that has continued to work on their development, adds credibility to the partnership. In a nod to needed infrastructure investment, the two companies also pledged to work together on storage technologies for the hydrogen needed to power fuel cells. An interested observer will be Toyota (TM), which recently confirmed it will put a fuel cell car on the road in 2014.
