General Motors commits to all-electric future

General Motors (GM) has announced plans for an all-electric fleet.

It will introduce two new all-electric vehicles (EVs) in the next 18 months, which will be the first of at least 20 new EVs that will launch by 2023.

Mark Reuss, Executive Vice President of Product Development, Purchasing and Supply Chain said: “General Motors believes in an all-electric future.

“Although that future won’t happen overnight, GM is committed to driving increased usage and acceptance of electric vehicles through no-compromise solutions that meet our customers’ needs.”

GM has also introduced a fuel cell concept vehicle on a heavy-duty truck frame that is driven by two electric motors.

Volkswagen and Jaguar Land Rover also plans to offer electric or hybrid cars.
