China's largest automaker SAIC Motor Corp is planning to provide an unnamed amount of "Shanghai" brand fuel cell cars for the 2010 Shanghai World Expo.
A company executive taking charge of SAIC's new energy vehicle division said the move marks the renaissance of an old Chinese brand and showcases SAIC's progress in developing alternative fuel vehicles.
The "Shanghai" brand fuel-cell cars were able to run at a maximum speed of nearly 150 kilometers per hour and could drive for more than 319 kilometers at one charge.
They will be used to provide zero-emission transportation services for some VIPs, officials and media people. Another 150 hybrid buses and 350 hybrid sedans will also be used to provide zero-emission services at key venues of the Exposition.
