GM, Exxon Develop Gasoline Fuel Processor

General Motors and Exxon Mobil Corporation have jointly announced the development of a
highly efficient gasoline fuel processor for fuel-cell vehicles. The companies report that
the processor is a major breakthrough that will lead to greatly reduced emissions and
improved fuel economy. Fuel cells are considered to be more compatible with RV towing than
electrical vehicles, and offer greater potential for longer range and more power than
electrics in the near term. GM plans a vehicle demonstration using this technology within a
year and a half.
