Embattled US car manufacturer General Motors is pressing ahead with its Hydrogen fuel cell tests despite speculation over the company’s long term funding plans.
GM’s HydroGen4 zero-emission vehicles, showcased in Britain at the London Motor Show, have arrived in Berlin, Germany in what promises to be part of the biggest ever test programme for fuel cell vehicles.
In all nine companies will take delivery of vehicles to test them in real world environments, including Coca-Cola, Allianz, and Linde; under the umbrella of the Clean Energy Partnership (CEP), a German Federal Department.
Understandably GM is delighted to attract high profile companies into the test programme.
HydroGen4 is GM’s fourth generation fuel cell, with more than 10 years development time under its belt, and has seen breakthroughs in range, acceleration, top speed and the ability to start in sub zero conditions.
Global testing of HydroGen4 has recently reached 700,000 km completed.
