The Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell has received Green Car Journal’s first-ever Green Car Vision Award, which honors the vehicle that best envisions the road ahead. The award was presented at a press conference at the Washington Auto Show. The 2008 Green Car Vision Award program considered five nominees. These included the Equinox Fuel Cell along with the BMW Hydrogen 7, Honda FCX Clarity, Phoenix Electric SUT, and Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid.

All qualified as advanced limited production vehicles either in demonstration programs or the early stages of commercialization.
