Alternative Fuel Gmc

When it comes to alternative fuels, General Motors Company, or GMC has proven to be an industry leader when it comes to developing alternative fuel vehicles and pushing for more and more people to switch over to alternative fuels. They have more hybrid and alternative vehicles than any other car company and have made great strides to inform the general public about the advantages of using as well as GMC alternative vehicles.

GMC’s newest campaign for is the “Think Green, Go Yellow” which promotes the use of Ethanol blend E85 fuel. Ethanol E85 is made from corn and is mostly an alcohol based product. It has lower emissions than regular gasoline and burns cleaner causing less damage to the environment. GMC wants people to know that they firmly support the alternative fuel movement and offer plenty of vehicles that run on E85 fuel.

GMC has also been innovative in the development of the fuel cell vehicle whose only emission is water vapor. The Chevy Equinox is GMC’s answer to the requests of people who want a clean burning car without having to give up luxury or quality. The Equinox is fully functional, carrying up to four occupants and their gear. Plus, it's engineered to reach a top speed of 100 mph.

Equinox Fuel Cell has been crash-tested and is expected to meet all applicable 2007 U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. And you will enjoy the benefits of driver and front passenger head curtain side air bags, the StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control System, four-wheel antilock disc brakes with Traction Control, and OnStar. On the outside, you'll notice premium Tricoat paint and unique styling that is distinctively Chevrolet.

In other words, the GMC Equinox Fuel Cell vehicle runs on totally clean fuel cells and emits only water vapor so it is truly a “green” vehicle. While fuel cell technology has come a long way, it has taken awhile for car manufacturers to jump on the bandwagon and produce a vehicle that is run totally on fuel cells. That makes GMC a leader in the alternative fuel department.

GMC also produces several other types of vehicles that run on including hybrid cars and flex-fuel vehicles that are becoming increasingly popular. With the push toward alternative fuels, GMC has met the demand and become a favorite among those who also support the “green” movement in vehicles.
