The General MotorsHydrogGen4will be making its public debut at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Shownext week prior to being the European representative in Project Driveway.


Project Driveway is the largest fuel cell vehiclefield test in the world to date and it will involve GM putting vehicles into the hands of regular customers to drive. The HydroGen4 is a re-badged version of the Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell that was shown in the US in prototype form last fall. Project Driveway will launch in the US this fall and total of 100 Equinoxes will be included in the fleet. Ten of the HydroGen4 models will be made available for testing in partnership with the Clean Energy Partnership in Berlin, Germany.
