GM is committed to bringing energy-saving technologies to the market
GM sells cars and trucks in every major market in the world, and it is clear to us that oil alone cannot fuel the world’s rapidly growing vehicle fleet. That’s why GM is aggressively pursuing a broad range of advanced propulsion technologies.
These include:
- Improved internal combustion powertrains, which can squeeze more miles from each gallon of gasoline or diesel;
- Flex-fuel vehicles and investments in advanced biofuels;
- An expanding fleet of hybrid vehicles — nine hybrid models by mid-2009;
- Electrically-driven vehicles like the Chevy Volt, which is scheduled to go into production in 2010;
- Advanced fuel cell vehicles, which are currently undergoing fleet tests.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer. Different countries and different customers will require different solutions. We are committed to being a global leader in providing these solutions.
Former GM Chairman and CEO Rick Wagoner outlined this strategy at the 2006 Los Angeles Auto show.
