What is GM doing with hydrogen fuel cell vehicles?
GM continues to see hydrogen fuel cells as the best long-term solution for reducing dependency on oil. Our goal is to design and validate a fuel cell propulsion system by 2010 that is competitive with current combustion systems on durability and performance, and that ultimately can be built at scale affordably. We are a leader in developing fuel cell technology and have demonstrated our fuel cell vehicles around the world. In 2007, we launched the largest market test of fuel cell vehicles in the world called, “Project Driveway.” This entailed the loan of 100 Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell vehicles to every day drivers, celebrities, and other dignitaries to gauge interest, consumer reaction, and vehicle performance.
