GM announces electric vehicle demonstration fleets

General Motors will establish battery electric vehicle demonstration fleets as part of its attempts to increase competitiveness in vehicle electrification.

GM Vice President of Global Vehicle Engineering Karl Stracke declared that the demo fleets will appear in different regions around the world and use different vehicles.

It is hoped that the fleets will provide GM with real-world data looking into battery charging, market needs, driving patterns and customer acceptance.

So far GM has not announced is partners but no other car manufacturers are currently involved. We’ll bring you further details as soon as they are announced.
