HYDROGEN FUTURE DRIVES INTO OSHAWA

Oshawa – Jerry Ouellette, MPP for Oshawa would like to congratulate General Motors on its commitment to environmentally friendly technology.

General Motors of Canada Limited and Hydrogenics Corporation today demonstrated that commercially viable hydrogen-powered industrial vehicles are closer to the market than many people think.

“I am pleased to see GM has begun a gradual movement away from the dependency on lead-based batteries to the new clean hydrogen technology,” says Ouellette.

Mr. Ouellette was on-hand this morning for a trial-demonstration of hydrogen powered forklift trucks at General Motors’ car plant in Oshawa.

Ouellette adds, “General Motors is taking the lead along the road to hydrogen economy and I’m proud Oshawa is at the forefront of the alternative energy development within the automotive sector.”
