...non vedo cosi...hanno gran parte delle vendite in Cina. E il utile fatto con la JV Cina secondo me fa parte della riga "GM Financial", perche da un JV in Cina non si puo tirar fuori il utile diretto, cosi non fa parte del "Automotive income".

Lockheed Martin e General Motors collaborano per una nuova generazione di rover lunari

 

Lockheed Martin e General Motors hanno presentato una collaborazione per la costruzione di nuovi rover lunari progettati per permettere agli astronauti delle future missioni Artemis di muoversi sulla Luna e trasportare materiale e rifornimenti. Il mezzo sarà progettato dalle due aziende per la NASA, che ad inizio del 2021 aveva aperto una richiesta pubblica per un rover di questo tipo. Le richieste dell’Agenzia Spaziale Americana prevedevano che il mezzo in questione avesse propulsione elettrica, capacità di guida autonoma e permettesse agli astronauti di muoversi su superfici particolarmente accidentate.

GM at CES 2022: Experience The Ultium Effect

DETROIT – In a virtual keynote today at CES 2022, General Motors Chair and CEO Mary Barra outlined the waves of change that are coming as society moves toward the mass adoption of electric vehicles. GM, a company transitioning from automaker to platform innovator, provided a view of EV technology's inflection point at CES one year ago.

“Technology driven by purpose will change the world,” said Deborah Wahl, GM global chief marketing officer. “GM is redefining how people and goods are moved. Our commitment to a vision of a world with zero crashes, zero emissions and zero congestion has positioned us to lead. As we implement our growth strategy, we have an opportunity and, frankly, an obligation to create a better future for generations to come. That’s the Ultium Effect.”

GM’s “Ultium Effect” message guides the company’s virtual CES experience accessible at www.GMExhibitZero.com. The site showcases waves of change that began with GM’s introduction of the Ultium EV Platform in early 2020. Ultium, which was recently recognized among Fast Company’s “Next Big Things in Tech 2021” underpins vehicles including the GMC HUMMER EV Edition 1 Pickup and the BrightDrop EV600, which were delivered to initial customers late last year, as well as the Cadillac LYRIQ when deliveries begin later this year.

Headlining GM’s CES 2022 is the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV. This reimagined full-size pickup was developed from the ground up and leverages the power of GM’s Ultium Platform. At launch, the Silverado EV will be available in two configurations, an RST First Edition and a fleet-oriented WT model – both offer a revolutionary mix of performance, capability, technology and style. The Silverado EV will offer an expected GM-estimated 400-mile range on a full charge¹ along with 10.2kW of offboard power, available four-wheel steering, fixed-glass roof, Multi-Flex Midgate with a load floor of up to 10 feet, 10 inches when combined with the Multi-Flex Tailgate, a large, 17-inch-diagonal LCD freeform infotainment screen, and the latest vehicle technologies that can evolve over time.

Additional news and topics showcased at CES include:

• GM’s plan to reach leadership in EV market share in the U.S. that, beyond the Chevrolet Silverado EV, will include a Chevrolet Equinox EV SUV with an estimated MSRP starting around $30,000* in the U.S. as well as a larger Chevrolet Blazer EV SUV. Both Equinox EV and Blazer EV will be available in 2023. These three products will place Chevrolet EVs in the industry’s two largest segments and one of the fastest growing segments in the U.S. Photos and initial details of the Equinox EV are available here.
• GM is working to build an EV movement beyond its retail business through the BrightDrop ecosystem, the Chevrolet Silverado EV Work Truck, and even component sales for commercial and recreational vehicles. Customers planning to place fleet orders include FedEx and Walmart (BrightDrop EV600) as well as Enterprise and Quanta (Chevrolet Silverado EV).
• Supported by the Chevrolet brand’s rapidly expanding EV portfolio, GM intends to lead in electric vehicles. With GM's EV portfolio today and just on the horizon – including BrightDrop electric vans, Chevrolet Silverado EV, Equinox EV, Blazer EV, Bolt EV and EUV, along with GMC Sierra EV, GMC HUMMER EVs and Cadillac LYRIQ and CELESTIQ – GM believes that no other automaker today matches the depth and range of GM’s growing all-electric portfolio.
• GM and Cruise are pursuing a comprehensive path to autonomous mobility with the aim to deliver the first personal autonomous vehicle from General Motors as soon as mid-decade.
• GM and Cruise’s continued work together will create economies of scale that lower costs and increase quality of Cruise’s rideshare and delivery networks while bringing the positive impacts of autonomous vehicles to a larger audience.
• Super Cruise remains on track to be available on 22 models across GM brands by 2023, while Ultra Cruise, which will enable door-to-door hands free driving, enters production in 2023, with the Ultium-based Cadillac CELESTIQ ultra-luxury sedan being among the first models to be equipped with the technology.
• GM will be the first company to use Qualcomm Technologies’ Snapdragon Ride™ Platform for advanced driver assistance technology, defined by software developed in-house by GM. Co-developed by GM and Qualcomm for Ultra Cruise, the new compute architecture will have the processing capability of several hundred personal computers, but is only about the size of two laptops placed on top of one another.
• The expansion of Cadillac’s Halo Concept Portfolio with the InnerSpace and OpenSpace autonomous vehicles. These two new concepts build on the PersonalSpace vertical takeoff and landing vehicle and the SocialSpace personal autonomous vehicle introduced at CES last year, and together the four illustrate a potential future for multimodal luxury travel when GM’s Ultium EV and Ultifi software platforms are fused with autonomous driving technology.
• New examples of possible customer experiences enabled by Ultifi, GM’s end-to-end vehicle software platform that enables frequent and seamless delivery of software-defined features, services and ownership experiences. Theoretical vehicle modes include “Max Power Mode,” which recalibrates electric vehicles for quicker acceleration; “Choose Your Own Adventure Mode,” which creates a scavenger hunt to discover shops, restaurants or landmarks; and “Planetarium Mode,” which uses a vehicle’s GPS to project nearby constellations onto vehicle screens.

“We are witnessing what’s possible when innovators and problem solvers embrace the opportunity to change the world, knowing they have the tools and technology to do precisely that,” stated Wahl. “With that capability comes the responsibility to use it. GM’s Ultium Platform means we no longer need to imagine a zero-emissions future; we can start building it.”

 Buick is set to embark on a brand transformation that will fully electrify its lineup in North America, led by a new badge and brand identity.

In support of General Motors’ vision of a zero-emissions, all-electric future, Buick will bring its first electric vehicle to market for North America in 2024.

Buick’s future EV products will carry the Electra name, drawing inspiration from the brand’s history.

“The Buick brand is committed to an all-electric future by the end of this decade,” said Duncan Aldred, global vice president, Buick and GMC. “Buick’s new logo, use of the Electra naming series and a new design look for our future products will transform the brand.”

The new badge, which is the first significant change to the emblem since 1990, will be body-mounted onto the front fascia of Buick products starting next year. No longer a circular logo, the badge incorporates a sleek, horizontally aligned layout that builds upon Buick’s recognizable tri-shield. The redesigned columns of the tri-shield, which have roots in company founder David Dunbar Buick’s ancestral heraldry, incorporate fluid movements that will be found in future vehicle design.

“Our forthcoming products will adopt a new design language that emphasizes a sleek, dynamic and forward-looking appearance,” said Sharon Gauci, executive director, Global Buick and GMC Design. “Our exteriors will incorporate fluid movements that contrast with tension to convey motion. Interiors will balance modern design, new technologies and attention to detail to evoke warmth and a rich sensory experience.”

The Buick Wildcat EV concept illustrates the new global brand design language that will be apparent in production vehicles going forward. The new Buick badge and design will debut on production vehicles starting next year.

In addition to the new badge, Buick’s revamped brand identity will also include new typography, an updated color palette and a new marketing approach. Buick will update its physical and digital properties over the next 12 to 16 months.

The brand transformation will also include a more seamless connectivity experience, as new retail Buick vehicles in the U.S. will include three years of OnStar and Connected Services Premium Plan¹. Services such as remote key fob, Wi-Fi data and OnStar safety services will be included as standard equipment on the vehicle and included in the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price starting this month.

As Buick looks toward the future, its products continue to perform well in the U.S. and globally. Last year was Buick’s best sales year ever for its current lineup, with U.S. retail sales up 7.6%. This portfolio helps attract a significant number of new customers to the brand, with nearly 73% of sales coming from customers that are new to Buick.

 

¹Connected vehicle services vary by vehicle model and require active service plan, working electrical system, cell reception and GPS signal. OnStar links to emergency services. See onstar.com for details and limitations. All plans are subject to change or terminate without notice.

 

Buick vehicles offer sculptural designs, refined performance, modern interiors and thoughtful personal technologies. Buick’s award-winning customer service and sales experience, along with the Avenir trim, the highest expression of Buick luxury, are attracting new buyers to experience Buick’s unique approach to attainable luxury. More information about Buick vehicles is available at buick.com.

Il logo mi sembra ben ritoccato, temevo molto peggio. Piacevole poi l'idea di non inserirlo in un bordo!

Mi piace!
