Equinox Fuel Cell:
The Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell (or FC, as it is commonly referred to) vehicle utilizes hydrogen power for fuel. This gives the vehicle a distinct advantage over traditional vehicles in environmental impact because the only byproduct released by this process is water vapor. The Equinox Fuel Cell uses fourth-generation hydrogen technology. The cell stack itself is designed for only 50,000 miles of driving, making its lifespan an issue for potential consumers. In terms of weight, the Equinox FC clocks in 500 pounds heavier than its traditional gas powered counterpart.
