Mass media is filled up with the shocking reports about General Motors losing its power and going down the road of the financial crisis. The manufacturer’s profits went down and the sales are staying low.
Due to the financial problems GM decided to give up many of the plans for 2008 Los Angeles Auto Show. The American auto maker planned to introduce new vehicles at the show: Buick LaCrosse sedan and Cadillac CTS coupe, but in order to save some money for the company the owners decided to cancel that and move the presentation to the Detroit show in January.
GM will not be sending any representatives and cancelled many events they planned for the show in California.
At the same time the auto manufacturer is not going to disappear from Los Angeles completely. The visitors will still see several of the displays from General Motors. And the admirers of the new projects will be able to observe new Chevrolet Volt at the show.
The American automaker, General Motors, does not plan buying lithium-ion batteries for electric cars from other manufacturers, the company has announced that there will be a plant built by them specifically for this purpose.
Opel is planning to bring an EV concept to the 2010 Geneva Auto Show. The company says this is the symbol of their “vision of future mobility”. The drivetrain of the concept is based on the 2011 Chevrolet Volt system.
While Chevrolet was excited to have an unusually quick development of Volt and announced that the electric car will be ready several months earlier than they expected, the team did not notice that its leader decided to go different direction.
This Tuesday General Motors has announced that the new hybrid Chevrolet Volt is going to do 230 mpg in the city driving. The manufacturer said that “a draft EPA federal fuel economy methodology for labeling plug-in electric vehicles” was used in the development testing of the car.
The talks about GM bankruptcy are over and the company is going to a new phase of life. The main assets of the company like Cadillac, Buick, Chevrolet and GMC have been sold to the so-called New GM.
