GM unveils eco-friendly concept Cadillac
posted in Fuel Economy, USA, Alternative Fuels, Science & Technology, Automobiles |From the pulled-kicking-and-screaming-into-the-present department:
General Motors’ latest concept car is a Cadillac that could get 300 miles on a single tank and has nearly all the eco-friendly features you can think of.
The Provoq–the first concept car to get its premiere at CES–runs on a hydrogen fuel cell and a lithium ion battery, according to GM CEO Rick Wagoner, who unveiled the car during a keynote speech Tuesday at the Consumer Electronics Show here. The car primarily runs on hydrogen, but uses the battery for peak power and storing electricity to extend the range. (The battery gets recharged from a wall socket.)
