(autoinsidernews) - Ford has announced that it will join General Motors in unveiling fuel cell vehicles at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Ford entry will be a fuel cell powered Explorer, which can travel 350 miles on a single fill-up, more than any fuel cell vehicle on the road. The hydrogen fuel cell powered Explorer features electric motors for both front and rear axles, for all-wheel drive output just like the base production model, reports Trend.
In less than one year, the fuel cell Explorer has been driven for more than 17,000 miles, including a world-record drive of 1556 miles in a single 24-hour period, the most of any fuel cell vehicle to date. At the Detroit Auto Show in January, Ford will unveil the next vehicle in a series of fuel cell demonstration vehicles.
The six-passenger fuel cell Explorer is one of several vehicles with green technology that Ford will have at the show, including the new 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid, the PZEV emissions compliant Ford Fusion and Ford Focus and the 2008 Ford F-Series Super Duty with Ford Clean Diesel Technology.
