Chevrolet Sequel arrives at Lyndhurst Castle in Tarrytown, New York after becoming the world's first fuel cell vehicle to go 300 miles on a single fill-up of hydrogen
May 15, 2007

Project Driveway is shining the light on hydrogen-powered vehicles these days. But before the fleet even hit the road, another Chevy vehicle made hydrogen history.

GM's Chevrolet Sequel became the world's first fuel cell vehicle to go 300 miles on a single fill-up of hydrogen. Two Sequels loaded with four adults left Rochester, NY on an 80-degree day and traveled to Tarrytown, New York on real roads under real traffic conditions. We averaged over twice the energy efficiency of a comparable gasoline-engine vehicle. Better yet, the hydrogen was produced using green electricity generated at Niagara Falls. This meant the entire trip was largely emissions-free, petroleum-free, fossil fuel-free, and CO2-free. And, the journalists driving the Sequels loved their jet-like acceleration and quietness.
