GM, Army to test Chevrolet Colorado fuel cell

GM and Army engineers will modify a Chevrolet Colorado to evaluate the fuel cell's performance under strenuous use over a 12-month test period.

The electric drive motor develops strong low-end torque, the vehicle can generate electricity in the field, and the water emitted from the tailpipe can be used in dry climates. The Army also believes that fuel cell vehicles and their near-silent operation are also ideal for many uses, notably combat situations.

“The potential capabilities hydrogen fuel cell vehicles can bring to the warfighter are extraordinary, and our engineers and scientists are excited about the opportunity to exercise the limits of this demonstrator,” TARDEC Director Paul Rogers said in the GM statement.

The fuel cell powertrain that will power the Colorado is a version of the one that GM developed for the Chevrolet Equinox fuel cell test fleet that comprised Project Driveway. From 2007-13, 119 Chevrolet Equinox fuel cell vehicles racked up more than 3 million miles of on-road testing by more than 5,000 consumers.
