Detroit -- General Motors Co. said it had targeted Hawaii as a prime market for hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles due to the state's high cost of imported petroleum fuels.
GM's executive director of global fuel cell operations Charlie Freese said the automaker is working with more than a dozen companies in an effort to add 20 hydrogen fueling stations on Oahu Island by 2015, the Detroit Free Press reported Wednesday.
GM, which has spent $2 billion on hydrogen fuel-cell research and development, does not have a hydrogen based automobile in production, but has allowed consumers to test a Chevrolet Equinox crossover with hydrogen fuel-cell power.

San Diegeo -- A California man says an egg-shaped object that broke the windshield of his Honda appears to be a part from a passing plane.
David Sawyers, 25, says the object could not have been dropped from a bridge and was too big to have been set into motion by a car or truck, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports. He said he plans to report the incident to the Federal Aviation Administration.
"I don't think it is right for airplane parts to fly out of the sky and damage people's vehicles," he said.
Sawyers of Santee and a friend, Claire Maloney, were on State Route 163 in San Diego's Kearny Mesa neighborhood Saturday afternoon when the object hit the car. Sawyers described it as "egg-shaped but bigger than a softball."

Detroit -- U.S. automaker General Motors Co. said it would hire 1,000 engineers to ramp up its technical prowess as the first for-sale Volt rolled off the assembly line.
GM Chief Executive Officer Dan Akerson announced the decision meant to cover the company's white-collar hiring in Michigan for the next two years after stepping out of GM's first production Volt, a battery-powered vehicle with a small gas engine that recharges the battery as it goes.
"We hope to cultivate the next generation of engineers who will build upon the Volt's innovative technologies," said Mark Reuss, GM's North America vice president.
"Every aspect of the Volt -- from its aerodynamic shape to its battery chemistry -- is a testament to the importance of math and sciences."

Washington -- The Environmental Protection Agency announced fuel efficiency standards for U.S. commercial trucks for the first time, similar to rules for lighter vehicles.
The rules cover fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions and are shaped to cover a variety of larger vehicles, such as vans, buses, tractor trailers, fire trucks and cement mixers, The New York Times reported Monday.
Various classes of vehicles under the proposal have different standards. Tractor trailers and buses, if the rules meet final approval, would have to reduce gas consumption by 20 percent by 2018. Trucks under the category of "work trucks," like cement trucks that drive far fewer miles per year, would have to reduce gas consumption by 10 percent by 2018.
