There are new hybrid technologies popping up around every corner as manufactures are pushed to give consumers what they want in a hybrid vehicle. The Chevrolet Sequel became the first hydrogen fuel cell vehicle to achieved its first 300 mile urban trek on the streets of New York while producing zero emissions on one tank of hydrogen.
"With this drive, General Motors has reached another important milestone toward the commercialization of our fuel cell vehicles, by achieving the range expected by today's consumers," said Larry Burns, GM vice president, research & development and strategic planning. "And we did it while producing zero emissions, as a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle only emits water. In addition, the hydrogen produced at Niagara Falls, used to fuel Sequel, was derived from hydropower - a clean, renewable resource. This means that the entire process - from the creation of the hydrogen to the use of the fuel in the vehicle -- was virtually carbon dioxide free."
The Sequel first made its appearance at the 2005 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. It is the first vehicle to integrate a hydrogen fuel cell propulsion system that meets the needs of the average consumer?s real-world driving range while using hydrogen as a fuel and emits a byproduct water vapor.
