Hydrogen Up In New York

Filed under: Chev love
With the price of gasoline and diesel increasing almost everyday, it is hard to keep up with it that one would think that it would be a good idea to switch to vehicles which does not use petroleum fuel. In reality, it is really much better to drive vehicles which do not burn any kind of petroleum fuel. Apart from saving money on your gas consumption, you are also helping to protect the environment. But unless you have millions of dollars, you might not be able to drive a hydrogen-powered vehicle yet.

But for those who can afford hydrogen vehicles, one problem still, and that is where they will have their tanks refilled with hydrogen.  But for those living in New York, that problem is gone now thanks to Chevrolet’s Project Driveway. Said project is aimed at promoting the use of hydrogen as fuel for vehicles employed by Americans.  Chevrolet will provide more than 100 Chevy Equinox to private and commercial customers in metropolitan New York and the Westchester County.

"These customers volunteered for Project Driveway because they care about the environment, and they want to help solve our nation’s energy issues. They are pioneers, and we are pleased they have joined our team," said Chevrolet general manager Ed Pepper.  "Drivers will provide regular, candid feedback about their use of the vehicle in their daily lives, which is key in defining our future product and market introduction plans for fuel cell electric vehicles," he added.

This move by Chevy is truly one admirable feat as they are showing that they are committed to the protection of the environment.  This is only the beginning though for the automaker as it will no doubt increase its drive towards providing green vehicles to consumers across the country.
