Chevrolet Equinox Fuel CellAnd the fuel cell race escalates in intensity. So far it’s a heated battle between Toyota and General Motors and for every motor show that passes by, it seems that GM pulls ahead with all their new developments. And they aren’t pulling any punches with this latest update - the Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell car.

GM has recently started the Project Driveway effort to test their fuel cell technology. 100 participants who live near the scant hydrogen filling stations are luckily chosen to participate in this. Guinea pigs in a sense but hey, free use of car and free fuel is quite a great “payment” for participating in a market test.

The Equinox runs from naught to sixty in just 12 seconds. Sure it sucks by today’s standards where you can get sub-6 numbers in family sedans. But hey, who cares about burning rubber when you’re saving the planet, right?
