Abstract
Energy availability, environmental impact, fuel price and legislation combined with shifts in customer buying preferences are driving significant interest in the development of fuel-efficient power train technologies. Advanced propulsion technologies are cri tical to developing sustainable transportation options for the future. The General Motors strategy for advanced powertrains involves multiple technologies to deliver the ex pected fuel economy and customer experience.
