Two Chevrolet Fuel Cell Equinox vehicles were presented today to the Shanghai World Expo Bureau for use in the VIP fleet at World Expo 2010 Shanghai.
The two vehicles will shuttle special guests at Shanghai's Expo Park while introducing GM's vision of sustainable mobility to government officials, industry leaders and members of the academic community, stimulating dialogue on the future of urban transportation.
Equipped with GM's most-advanced fuel cell propulsion system to date, the Fuel Cell Equinox is a fully functional crossover vehicle. It generates no greenhouse gases and its only tailpipe emission is water vapor.
"The Fuel Cell Equinox will demonstrate the promise of fuel cell vehicles and provide a window into GM's vision of a future that is free from petroleum and emissions," said Kevin Wale, President and Managing Director of the GM China Group. "Fuel cell vehicles offer one of the best solutions for the transportation challenges facing our society today.
"They represent a building block for the electrification technology that is part of GM's vision of future urban transportation, which is being introduced at our Expo 2010 pavilion," Wale said. "It also demonstrates GM's commitment to World Expo 2010 Shanghai as a global automobile partner."
The Fuel Cell Equinoxes join the Chevrolet Volt electric vehicle with extended-range capability, which earlier this month joined the Expo 2010 VIP fleet, as well as the 350 Buick LaCrosse Eco-Hybrid cars, which are part of the official Expo 2010 taxi fleet showing visitors from around the world the possibilities that exist today regarding electric vehicles.
Since 2007, GM has deployed more than 100 Fuel Cell Equinoxes on the road in the U.S., Europe and Asia through Project Driveway. More than 80,000 people in New York, Washington, D.C., and Greater Los Angeles have volunteered to drive the vehicles. The vehicles have already covered more than 1.4 million miles. The program is providing valuable feedback on the real-world application of fuel cell vehicles.
The Fuel Cell Equinox, Volt and LaCrosse Eco-Hybrid also joined GM's EN-V concept vehicle at the SAIC-GM Pavilion. They represent GM's commitment to electrification and pursuing multiple pathways to sustainable urban mobility.
