GM also indicated that it thinks the future will not only include battery-electric technology but hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicles, as well. Those vehicles offer quicker refueling capabilities, helping them to better meet the practical needs of drivers.
Beyond consumer vehicles, GM also introduced the Silent Utility Rover Universal Superstructure, or SURUS. The platform is a fuel-cell-powered, four-wheel-steer concept that is built on a heavy-duty truck frame and driven by two electric motors. SURUS is designed to serve as the underpinnings for delivery vehicles, trucks or even applications like an ambulance.
