Fuel cell cars hit 

roadblock

as Nissan-Renault 

pulls out

Nissan and Renault are
 suspending a plan
 to commercialize a fuel
 cell vehicle they were developing with 
Daimler and Ford.

The partners had planned to 

devise standard components 
that would help all four cut costs 
and produce a mass-market car. Research will go on, but the 
Nissan-Renault alliance is 
shifting focus to electric cars, which now seem to be the future of
low-emissions autos.
