Long-Term Chevy Fuel Cell Loan Presented in New York


Le Ann Hinkle, a former participant in the Project Driveway fuel cell demonstration program, will be back behind the wheel for at least six months more of zero emissions driving after getting the keys to the updated Chevy Fuel Cell vehicle on Monday from Jim Campbell, U.S. vice president of Chevrolet Marketing.
Hinkle joins Los Angeles resident Stephanie White as ambassadors for the fuel cell program, which is moving into its next stage as Project Driveway winds down after 30 months and nearly 1.3 million miles of real-world driving by more than 6,000 people, including 80 families that had one of the 119 Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell electric vehicles for up to two months.
A production intent fuel cell system with a 2015 target date is in pre-production while some of the Project Driveway vehicles, like the one Hinkle received on Monday,  are being upgraded with technology advancements as part of a technology demonstration with businesses and governments and high-profile involvements in special events such as the 2010 Expo in Shanghai.
