Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are looked at as a potential aid for soldiers on future battlefields. So, to help the military learn more about the uses of these eco-friendly vehicles, the Army and General Motors Corp. are getting into collaboration.
It was on Thursday, the Army received the keys to a Chevrolet Equinox fuel cell vehicle for beginning testing — how the hydrogen power might support the armed services – for a year.
The Marines’ Camp Pendleton, Calif., base and the Army base at Fort Belvoir, Va. will be using the vehicle.
