“Our vision is to design, build, and sell the world’s best
vehicles and we’re committed to doing that with our customers and environment
in mind.” – General Motors
With the economy and environment
being such a concern these days GM has made it their mission to help customers
become “greener” on the road. With
advanced technology and an eco-friendly vision they are working to create
vehicles that will not only benefit the driver but the environment as well. GM
knows that their customers are concerned about their carbon footprint, and so
they have been busy reinventing their vehicles.
Seventeen Gm models including all
of their full-size SUV’s are equipped with active fuel management. This fuel
saving technology enables a V8 engine to operate on half the engine’s cylinders
when full power is not needed. By using this technology fuel economy is
improved by as much as 12%.
Direct injection engines are
another way GM has designed to give better fuel economy. Every 2012 Buick
including the Regal and Lacrosse uses this precise fuel delivery
equipment giving better gas mileage and reducing emissions. GM is the global
leader in producing FlexFuel cars.
Flexfuel model cars are vehicles that run on E-85 (ethanol). Ethanol
burns cleaner, therefore lowering emissions and giving the driver peace of mind
about their carbon footprint.
General Motors also kept their
business owner customers in mind too. Offering
GNG and LPG powered vans that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The GMC
Savana Cargo and Savana Cutaway are two of the vehicles offered.
Probably the most exciting
technology that GM has come up with is eAssist. As electrification machinery it
combines start and stop technology with regenerative braking. This means that
the car automatically shuts off the gas when braking and the engine will stop
and restart when in stop and go traffic, giving better fuel economy. EAssist
also has an onboard lithium-ion battery to provide an electronic boost in
certain conditions to also improve fuel economy.
Most of this new Technology can be
found in vehicles like the
Buick Regal
Buick Lacrosse
Buick Verano
GMC Terrain
GMC Sierra
GMC Yukon Denali
Cadillac ATS
Cadillac SRX
Cadillac Escalade
