Shanghai, June 13 (Gasgoo.com) Media reported on 13th, June that in 2011, GM will mass produce two models of new energy vehicles. One of them is a new type of Buick Lacrosse Hybrid. The other is imported Chevrolet Volt electric car, and Shanghai will become its first overseas market outside of North America.
In addition, Shanghai GM has displayed its two greatest treasures in the automobile pavilion at the ongoing Shanghai 2010 World Expo: EN-V and Leaf made their debut for the first time in the outdoor display of vehicles. In the auto pavillion, Shanghai GM officially released the 2011-2015 "Green Future Activity" strategic plan, which aimed to produce the two concept vehicles in the next five years.
Kevin Wale, president of GM Motors in China, disguised himself as a common spectator wandering before the performance area. When some fans of GM asked him when they would change their cars to EN-V, he smiled and reassured them: "soon, soon."
The general manager of Shanghai GM, Ding Lei, emphasized in an interview: "The auto pavillion is a showcase of the future, but from now on, our products will bridge the distance between the present and the future."
As part of the plan, in the following five years, Shanghai GM will launch 12 new engines, all concentrated on the 1.4L-2.5L displacement sector. These engines have more powerful dynamic performance and better fuel economy and will become the main products of GM, accounting for 95% of its total sales.
