At General Motors, people ask all sorts of questions. What should power the world's vehicles in 20 years? How can personal transportation become more sustainable in an age of increasing global competition for resources? What role will the automotive industry play in developing markets?
To mark its 100th anniversary and get the opinion of consumers, General Motors is launching a global dialogue through an initiative called GMnext. The automaker will introduce various ideas for addressing critical issues concerning energy, the environment and globalization. In the process, it hopes to spark a broader, global discussion on these important auto-related topics.
From the outset, GMnext will spotlight next-generation vehicles and technologies, including new applications of the E-Flex drive system and continued work on GM's line of Plug-In and Two-Mode hybrids. Said dialogue will take place on a dedicated website, GMnext.com. Participants are encouraged to interact and give their feedback. The site will also feature opinions and insights from the general public, industry observers outside of GM and the global media.
