A General Motors initiative focused on clean transportation, launched in 2007 to examine the benefits of clean transportation and determine whether electric vehicles were a meaningful investment. It has helped raise awareness of clean transportation, especially where hydrogen fuel cells are concerned.

A funding package distributed across three DOE offices targeting industrial energy projects, with focus on hydrogen production through electrolysis, infrastructure development, and end-use integration in steel manufacturing, chemical production, and other energy-intensive sectors.

Testing of the hydrogen fuel cell powered Chevrolet Colorado ZH2 pickup truck by the U.S. Army under severe field conditions. The vehicle demonstrated advanced fuel cell technology capabilities including near-silent operation, reduced acoustic and thermal signatures, and high wheel torque.
