The under-construction Berlin Brandenburg Airport will soon be home to a GM-powered fuel cell vehicle, courtesy Opel.

Opel will be providing the airport with a zero-emissions HydroGen4 vehicle, which is based on the Chevy Equinox and features a range of 320 kilometers. The vehicle will be used on a trial basis. According to Opel, the new Berlin airport was a perfect choice for the HydroGen4 since it will also be home to the world's first CO2 neutral gas station upon its completion.

The gas station produces hydrogen from wind energy.

"We fully intend to develop the new Berlin Brandenburg Airport into the most modern airport in Europe with a leadership role in environmental and resources protection," Dr Manfred A. Körtgen, general manager of airport manager BBI, said. "Of course the same is true for the use of alternative propulsion in the airport vehicle fleet."

The new international airport is expected to open on June 3, 2012.
