Liquid hydrogen fuel cells are the future of the automobile. Every major automaker is working on the technology, trying to find ways to make it a viable, affordable propulsion system of tomorrow, simultaneously eliminating dependence upon fossil fuels and harmful tailpipe emissions. Those that are not searching for a way to produce fuel cells could become relics on the trash heap of history within ten years.
General Motors is actively working on fuel cells with the intent of producing a hydrogen-powered vehicle by the end of the decade. The GM Sequel Concept showcases the automaker’s latest fuel-cell propulsion technology, development of which is speeding along at such a torrid pace that GM has been able to double the range and cut acceleration times by half over its existing AUTOnomy and Hy-wire fuel-cell vehicles – in just three scant years.
