BERLIN - July 11, 2007: As concerns over global warming continue to increase, General Motors Europe has unveiled a new environmental strategy aimed at decreasing and eventually eliminating CO2 emissions. Under its short-term plan, GM’s Opel/Vauxhall will introduce an ecoFLEX variant that emits lower CO2 levels in each model line. This new system is scheduled to premier in September during the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show. One of the reduced-emissions vehicles expected to be unveiled during this event is the Corsa 1.3 CDTI, a vehicle that emits only 119 g/km of CO2. Long-term, GM reports it is working to introduce the only zero-emission vehicle option currently known, the hydrogen fuel cell vehicles – to date, GM has invested more than $1 billion in this type of technology.
