HydroGeM !

This post speaks about GM which plans to soon launch Sequel, a car based on hydrogen technology. GM said that Sequel would become the first vehicle in the world to successfully integrate a hydrogen fuel cell propulsion system with a broad menu of advanced technologies such as steer- and brake-by-wire controls, wheel hub motors, lithium-ion batteries and a lightweight aluminum structure. It could also go 300 miles before refueling, GM said, well beyond the industry standard of 150 miles, besides doing 0-60 in 10 seconds.

With mounting pressure on non-renewable resources, rising prices of oil and gas and ecological concers, the launch of a mass production hydrogen powered car could be a key solution. Unarguably, however, much research and development is needed before the use of hydrogen-based fuel as a practical alternative to fossil fuel options.
