A new GM hybrid every 3 months?

GM is just getting started with its hybrids

GM is serious about moving towards the electrification of the automobile, but the automaker acknowledges that it will take decades to comprehensively achieve this reality. Thus, conventional fuels are going to be with us for some time. Therefore, hybrid cars will be one of the major keys to electrification.

Hybrids are a "critical component for our future propulsion system portfolios globally", Gary Smyth, Director of Powertrain Systems Research Laboratory told reporters this morning. As a result, in the next 4 years, GM will be introducing, on average, a new hybrid vehicle every 3 months.

Future plans for GM's hybrids includes direct injection and HCCI engines to help increase the efficiency of GM's hybrids vehicles.
