GM's Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell

After a succession of concept hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles, GM has announced that it is to produce and deploy a fleet of 100 fuel-cell cars designed for use in the real world. Based on the gasoline-powered Chevrolet Equinox, the Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell will run entirely on compressed hydrogen and will begin hitting the road in trials starting September 2007.

In an initiative it calls Project Driveway, GM plans to supply the Equinox Fuel Cell to private and commercial customers, who will take part in trials of the car lasting between 3 and 30 months.
