Similar story GM eager to show its clean technology By David Welch / The Detroit News LOS ANGELES -- In the smoggy air of southern California, General Motors Corp. plans to show that it is still on the road to building environmentally friendly cars. GM's headline act for its press conference today during press preview days at the Los Angeles Auto Show will be the fuel-cell-powered Sintra minivan developed by its Adam Opel AG subsidiary in Germany. The Sintra is the U.S.-built, European version of the Chevrolet Venture/Pontiac Montana/Oldsmobile Silhouette minivan. At the same time, GM said it is talking with Toyota Motor Corp. about forming some type of partnership to develop alternate fuel technology, but those discussions are in early stages, GM spokesman Bill O'Neill said Monday. Most of the world's automakers are racing to develop fuel-cell technology, which offers the promise of generating power for an electric vehicle while producing only carbon dioxide and water vapor as exhaust, but GM's Sintra is one of just a few running examples that have been unveiled. Toyota Motor Corp. and DaimlerChrysler AG's Mercedes-Benz group have shown running fuel-cell vehicles. GM boasts that the Sintra makes good use of space, fitting a fuel-cell stack and all its associated equipment without lengthening or widening the vehicle. The automaker showcased a trio of alternative powerplants at the Detroit auto show last January, and plans to show advancements with those vehicles today, O'Neill said. One example is the EV1 with a longer-lasting, nickel-metal hydride battery. In addition, GM will give details about a commuter bus powered by a combination of a diesel engine and electric motor. Several of those vehicles already are running, but none will be at the L.A. Auto Show, O'Neill said. The Los Angeles Auto Show opens to the public Saturday and runs through Jan. 10
