...hybrids, and GM says it is winning that battle. "Hybrid demand and availability continues to build, and we're seeing really positive momentum with the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon 2-mode hybrids," LaNeve added. At the same time, GM is still planning to roll out the Chevrolet Volt, a plug-in electric vehicle that will run on battery power rather than gasoline, in late 2010, despite some skepticism about whether its lithium-ion battery will be ready for the road...
...advance existing technologies like hybrids. One sign of Washington's torpor was the decision in December 2007 to raise fuel-economy standards to 35 m.p.g. by 2020. Not too impressive a goal, considering that today's hybrids already exceed 40 m.p.g.

...constant over the four-year term of the contract. The lack of guarantees from GM on job security triggered the strike Monday, Gettelfinger said shortly after the walkout began. The job-security guarantees are expected to include firm commitments to build future GM products, including the electric-powered Chevrolet Volt, in the United States. Some observers have speculated, however, that the job-security walkout was merely a cover for the more far-reaching and sensitive health care financing agreement...
