Recently, the Chevrolet Sequel has become the first fuel-cell vehicle to travel 300 miles on one fill-up of hydrogen. The journey took place along a pre-defined route from the General’s  named “Fuel Cell Activity Center” in Honeoye Falls, New York, a town slightly south of Rochester, to Tarrytown, roughly 30 miles north of New York City.

More importantly, the drive did prove to a certain extent that hydrogen fuel cells, which emit only water as emissions, could travel a range long enough for consumers to get on board with. The vehicles averaged the equivalent of 43 mpg.

The Chevrolet Sequel is a hybrid crossover SUV concept vehicle developed by General Motors and introduced at the 2005 North American International Auto Show. The Sequel is powered by a fuel cell powertrain, which includes an electronic control unit and a fourth-generation version of GM’s fuel-cell stack. The Sequel’s fuel-cell stack has a rated power output of 73 kW (98 hp), supplemented by a lithium-ion battery pack rated at 65 kW. One 65 kW electric motor drives the front wheels and individual 25 kW wheel-motors (outboard of the rear brakes) drive each rear wheel, providing total tractive power of 115 kW.
