01
Artifact Overview
General Motors revealed its Electrovan to the press and public in 1966. It was the world's first vehicle powered by hydrogen fuel cells. The chemical reaction between hydrogen fuel and oxygen produced electricity to operate the van's motor. The only byproducts were water and heat. But the equipment of the time was large, expensive, and too dangerous for everyday use.
