Starting in China’s capital Beijing, General Motors kicked-off their “2009 promotional tour” of China for its Chevrolet Equinox hydrogen fuel cell car. GM will send the Equinox across the world’s fourth largest country to drum up interest for the mid-size crossover SUV that uses the same fuel cell as the elusive Chevrolet Sequel.

The Anting College developed hydrogen fuel cell engines for a number of domestic cars, such as SAIC’s Roewe, the Chery Easter, and SAIC’s VW Passat.

GM said that in the next two years, they will introduce several Chevrolet Equinox hydrogen-fuel cell cars to China. That’s “cars” – not “models.” Nobody knows what the car will cost, or where in the vast reaches of the middle kingdom the hydrogen stations will be placed. The Chevy Equinox needs a fill-up every 200 miles. Industry observers believe that for the foreseeable future, the car will be what comes out of its exhaust pipe: Vapor.
