China To Witness GM’s New Vintage Cars

A multinational corporation and the world’s largest automaker, General Motors Corp, will sell its first gas-electric hybrid cars in China in July, introducing a model created in part by GM's Shanghai design center, the company informed.

The Buick LaCrosse will be the second hybrid to enter the Chinese automobile market following Toyota Motor Corp's Prius in early 2006.

GM doesn’t expect high sales of this model. What it does is just presents this new technology “to help China support sustainable growth and bring consumers in that direction”.

Hybrids improve fuel efficiency and cut emissions by generating extra power from the brakes as a vehicle tops. But they also cost more because they require both gasoline and electric motors.

GM has made China, the world's second-biggest and fastest-growing vehicle market, a key part of its efforts to develop alternative power sources. It announced plans in October for a US$250 million fuel- research center in Shanghai.
