September 20,, the chairman and chief executive YiKeSen notch, general motors global members of the board of directors in a group in Shanghai, in addition to the board of directors held outside the world, another important trip at general motors is two about China electric car research strategy of the conference.

This is the first time the board of directors of the global general motors will put the held outside the United States. On September 21 “general forward-looking technology research center” the opening of the conference, the first two rows of almost universal the members of the board of directors. This is China’s first real car enterprises in international future technology research. So the big battle array is sufficient to interpretation in gm’s global China r&d system in an important position.

And in a day ago, saic group just with general motors achieving common development the next generation of the electric car platform strategy agreement. The agreement made it clear that for China to customise electric car. It was also the first joint venture enterprises with the common car in the true sense of the electric car research and development.

However, the board of directors of the general of the collective visit also let gm and saic reach the buyback Shanghai gm with 1% of the equity of the agreement that tend to be more facts. And under the general electric Volt will increase cheng type in more than two months after entry into the Chinese imports of pure this background, also make the September 20 electric car cooperation agreement is endowed with the more intriguing strategic depth.

Hand in hand with the new electric car platform win-win situation

September 20,, Shanghai automotive and general motors announced it will jointly developing a new generation of electric car platform.

This in Shanghai and general deepen cooperation on strategic road map of add a pen. In the past year, the two sides had jointly develop the Asian emerging market, joint development of environmental protection and energy saving power assembly DuoCi milestone to shake hands.

The sign of a new generation of electric car platform joint development agreement is in November 2010 the both sides sign the saic-general strategic cooperation memorandum of foundation, on the new energy vehicles cooperation project of the perfect and carry out.

In line with the agreement, the next few years, saic, general and both sides of the joint venture will be based on joint development of a new generation of launch their new electric car platform electric products. Saic and general technical team will with pan-asia automobile technology center for global r&d base, the research and development work in common.

YiKeSen said, “achieved such cooperation, compared to the new product development, sail electric vehicle is one example.”

In the electric vehicle development, Shanghai automotive already released in 2010 and 20% of the fuel-efficient hybrid cars, and roewe will be released in 2012 and 50% of the fuel with plug strong mix cars and pure electric car. And general motors Chevrolet Volt walter landa under the program is already industrialization electric car.

The analysis indicates that for the first time, become with saic multinational car enterprises joint development of new energy vehicles platform of the domestic car enterprises brought about by the technology opportunity not allow to ignore; And for general speaking, direct and introduces the most advanced general Volt walter landa compared with saic jointly developed for the China market of electric vehicles more pragmatic, custom not only can quickly into the electric car market in China, and can avoid Volt meet the technical standards and government subsidies is difficult to solve problems of high cost.

According to the agreement, saic has the independent brand name, sir alex ferguson also can roewe sharing a new generation of electric vehicles, this means that, in the platform of Shanghai Volkswagen joint venture enterprises such as car have announced the release of joint venture to cater to China’s new independent electric energy policy, general is also expected to take this platform and saic its own brand new energy hooks.

However, in the industry, it seemed, the paper agreement will solve and bring far more than that.

The agreement is signed, have announced recently reported that China’s government hopes gm will Volt technology and joint venture partner saic motor car sharing, and the Volt to provide sales subsidies as the conditions. But gm rejected the conditions, and tried to persuade Chinese officials, with Chinese partner in don’t have to share technology under the prerequisite of the Chevrolet Volt, approved with plug hybrid sales.

China’s general manager GanWenWei general that this message denied that, and clarified, gm had never received from the Chinese government’s demands and the strain, “Volt is one, can’t enjoy the subsidies, the situation we have long known that.”

According to general motors China auto electrification strategy BaiLei executive director be (Ray Bierzyns-ki), said the Volt has, through the China market all test, the first batch of Chinese market supply of Volt has in the assembly line, in December of this year is expected to assemble the first vehicle to China will be delivered. Because is pure entrance, and can’t enjoy the subsidies, has revealed the Volt of domestic pricing is far far higher than already of some domestic joint venture brand new energy vehicles.

But there are sources said in the board of directors, gm has made the Volt walter landa advanced mouth, assembly, finally put into practice after domestic plan. And according to the last year said the car and new energy vehicles industry development planning “the draft, a car to the multinational enterprises in China production electric car set higher cooperation to the threshold of the house, including in the battery, electrical, motor three core technology of intellectual property sharing.

Because of the Volt face the trouble, and build a widely used electric car platform, is considered the localization is dissolve the Volt could not cross the policy of the bottleneck second road.

Conference, YiKeSen meaning ground to say: “this cooperation is general motors efforts we reflect on the operation ways a masterpiece.”

For a new generation of electric car platform and whether Volt being linked, BaiLei have said, gm and saic together makes electric motor car is designed for China’s production, and thus, and the Volt customers object is completely different. Reports say, general motors vice chairman Steve Girsky another occasion in the introduction of the new electric car platform, stressed that new car will use the new design, not the existing Sonic, etc cars Chevrolet of change. But he did not give the car whether to belong to small city electric car.

General motors China academy of sciences dujiang ling explained, the in the cooperation, the design and development of product will be carried out in China, among them, pan-asia automobile technology center will mainly be responsible for the vehicle development, general motors, in all technology as support.
