The jumbo-sized Chevrolet Silverado trucks will be designed to get 300 miles per fueling and also serve as mobile power generators.Hydrogen is seen by GM and may other companies as a clean fuel option that's well suited to trucks and heavy vehicles.General Motors has experimented with hydrogen fuel cells for decades but doesn’t yet use them in vehicles it sells. That may change as the largest U.S.
The high-powered fuel cell system in the trucks “can produce more than 300 kilowatts of peak power” and serve as a mobile generator to “power job sites or bring charging to EVs in areas where traditional charging is not available,” Jacob Lozier, HYDROTEC’s program manager, told reporters. “It has enough power and energy to provide power for up to 250 American homes” for a day.
A fleet of GM's medium-duty Chevrolet Suburban pickups powered by hydrogen will be deployed with the Southern Company later this year.Fuel cells, electrochemical devices that turn electrons from hydrogen into electricity, can provide range and power that typically exceed battery systems, operate efficiently in hot or cold weather and can be refueled in a fraction of the time it takes to recharge an EV.
