GM’s Global Executive Vice President, and President of GM China, Julian Blissett: by 2035, GM will achieve electrification for all new models.
Julian Blissett announced that by 2025, GM will invest $35 billion in electric and autonomous vehicles; by 2050, it will launch more than 30 electric models worldwide, of which over 20 will be sold in China.
GM’s ultimate goal is to achieve 100% renewable energy supply for all new vehicles by 2035. With a strategy of both product and operations, GM will achieve carbon neutrality by 2040.
The revolutionary electric platform, Ultium, co-developed by teams from China and the United States, will be mounted on all Cadillac models and the majority of Buick and Chevrolet models by 2030. GM is actively transforming over half of its production lines in China and the US.
Cadillac LYRIQ is GM’s first product for the Chinese market, which will be delivered in the third quarter of this year. Production of the GMC Hummer EV pickup truck is in full swing in the United States. The Cruise Origin self-driving vehicle has entered the pre-production phase and is currently undergoing testing and validation.
In February of this year, Cruise, GM’s self-driving subsidiary, opened its fleet of self-driving vehicles to the public in San Francisco. Super Cruise and Ultra Cruise complement each other, and will expand the ADAS technology across GM’s product range. Thanks to the higher bandwidth and stronger data processing capability of the VIP intelligent electronic architecture technology, Super Cruise will be mounted on all 22 GM models by 2030 and will achieve functional extension and remote upgrade capabilities. This year, Super Cruise has upgraded its instruction change and automatic lane change functions, and will be available in China.
