Virgin Atlantic to Use Chevrolet's Hydrogen Fuel Cell Transportation Shuttles
Posted on: Tuesday, 4 March 2008, 12:00 CST
Virgin Atlantic Airways has announced that it will use Chevrolet Equinox hydrogen fuel cell vehicles for its complimentary ground transfer service for upper class passengers for planes landing at Los Angeles International Airport.
Beginning in March, Virgin will use three zero-petroleum, zero-emission Chevrolet Equinox fuel cell electric vehicles, fueled with hydrogen, as ground transportation shuttles, running to and from the airport serving the Los Angeles area.
The partnership opens the door to possible future activities between Chevrolet and Virgin, involving the same type of service for New York.
Sir Richard Branson, founder and CEO of Virgin Group, said: "Our mission to be the sustainable airline is clear, both on the ground and in the air. Partnerships such as this with General Motors show that we are pioneering in the aviation industry when it comes to reducing emissions at every stage of our passengers' journey."
