GM planning more EVs and plug-ins, avoiding regular hybrids

Strategy instead focuses on EVs, plug-in hybrids and mild hybrid 'eAssist' models.

 

General Motors' future green-car efforts will focus on plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles rather than conventional hybrid powertrains, product chief Mary Barra said on Wednesday.

Barra said GM has narrowed its future development emphasis in an effort to defend its leadership position attained with the Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid. GM will unveil an electric Spark minicar in late November at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

"A major focus for GM's electrification strategy will center on the plug," Barra said via a satellite feed to reporters gathered in San Francisco for a GM event. She added that plug-ins offer "a unique opportunity to change the way people commute" and that Volt owners "love the ability to refuel at home."

REDUCED: Custom made Dodge Viper SRT/10 Bike 2005 $155,000.00

Custom Dodge SRT/10 Viper powered Boss Hoss. Cost to build $253,000. Sale price 165,000.00 This multi award winning scream machine went through its final phase of completion to its current stage in early 2010. Powered by....8.3 ltr V-10 with 580hp. 730hp with the on board nitrous system and has 630lbs of torque. It has a 2 speed semi automatic trans with reverse. And though this may sound a bit intimidating the bike has a very manageable 4.3 effective trail. It weighs only 1085lbs. Sits low to the ground so it is even manageable for those of us with shorter legs. Average fuel economy 18mpg . Suited for an experienced bike rider only. So many high priced prototype or concept vehicles are neat to look at but don't run or operate properly or are simply cobbled together underneath. This concept bike is a finely tuned and finished product. There has been an attitude of cost is no object instilled in everyone involved with the designing, production and financing of this machine. This is a very rare opportunity to own one of only two Dodge powered Viper bikes built by Tony Reynolds in the world. This is a bike you MUST see in person to appreciate the complexity, beauty, and craftsmanship of this phenomenal machine. There is a tremendous amount of detail, photos and information available that I can provide and I invite “Serious” only buyers to email me at viperbiker@cfl.rr.com Also available, 1 off custom made remote controlled trailer built just for the Viper bike. Partial trade may be considered.
