A major investment in hydrogen fuel cell production by GM has been put on hold, according to a report in Crain’s Detroit Business. According to a source familiar with the matter, work has been paused on a $55 million joint project with supplier Piston Automotive to make hydrogen fuel cells at a Detroit facility.
The original plan was for Piston Automotive to lease and operate a 292,500-square-foot facility on the old State Fairgrounds site and create 144 jobs making hydrogen fuel cells. GM currently makes hydrogen fuel cells at a Brownstown, Michigan facility alongside other automotive components in a joint venture with Honda, but this would have been GM’s first standalone fuel cell factory.
