GM puts fuel cell cars to the test

General Motors is testing the waters of the hydrogen car market by sending over 100 fuel cell versions of its Chevrolet Equinox out for public test drives. They will hit the roads in New York, Washington DC and southern California, where the first re-fuelling facilities are available, as well as Germany, South Korea, China and Japan.

Celebs, policymakers and other ‘influentials’ will get first bite at the cherry (Walt Disney have just taken delivery of ten Equinoxes) – but GM is also inviting Joe Public to sign up online. – David Howells
