FUEL CELL OVERVIEW

THE BEST EMISSIONS STRATEGY IS A ZERO-EMISSIONS STRATEGY.

In early 2008, Chevy launched a test fleet of hydrogen-powered Equinox Fuel Cell vehicles. This fleet hit the streets of New York City, Washington, D.C., and Southern California.

"Project Driveway" is the first large-scale market test of fuel cell vehicles with real drivers in the real world. Why? Because hydrogen fuel cells use zero gasoline and produce zero emissions other than water vapor. They're a sustainable technology for a better environment. And they can ultimately reduce our dependence on petroleum.

Equinox Fuel Cell is an electric vehicle powered by the GM fourth-generation fuel cell system, our most advanced fuel cell propulsion system to date. The electric motor traction system will provide the vehicle with instantaneous torque, smooth acceleration and quiet performance, with the ability to reach a top speed of 100 mph.

Although these vehicles aren't available to purchase, they're already receiving recognition from Green Car Journal. The Chevy Equinox Fuel Cell was given its 2008 Green Car Vision Award^®,² the first time the magazine has recognized a limited production vehicle for its forward-thinking technologies. The Equinox Fuel Cell won the award over several nominees, including the Honda FCX Clarity and Toyota Prius Plug-In.
