VIDEO from Medialink and General Motors: Fuel Cell Technology Takes to the Road

    NEW YORK, Aug. 13 /EMWNews/ -- As environmental awareness increases,

so does the need for better fuel alternatives. One of those energy sources

is getting a lot of buzz -- and moving from laboratory testing to the road.

    Hydrogen fuel cells are electric energy sources that have the potential

to power everything from cell phones to large buildings. For cars, they

provide zero-emission power and don't use any oil. And although actual

hydrogen fuel vehicles are a few years down the road, most major auto

manufacturers have already started hydrogen programs.



    A new campaign, called "Project Driveway," is putting fuel cell

technology to practice in the largest market test ever. As part of the

project, Chevrolet is loaning 100 Equinox Fuel Cell electric vehicles to

select families across the country. The pioneering drivers will give

feedback on the overall operation and feeling of the car, while generating

public awareness and exposure to fuel cell vehicles.
