General Motors invited hundreds of international journalists to its hometown last week to unveil some small products for its biggest brand, Chevrolet.
GM said it will launch an electric version of its Chevy Spark minicar in 2013. It will be the first EV for GM, which became a leader in electrification with the EV-1 in the 1990s and then launched the Chevy Volt plug-in hybrid late last year.
The Spark EV will come after the gasoline version of the Spark, which is scheduled for a mid-2012 U.S. launch. Sonic, which went on sale in August. It will get a 1.2-liter, four-cylinder engine.
-- Chevrolet will introduce a new family of small-displacement gasoline engines through the end of this decade. The family will include three- and four-cylinder engines ranging from 1.0- to 1.5-liters in size. GM has no plans to sell the three-cylinder versions in the United States.
-- GM said that its personal mobility concept, the EN-V, will get a Chevy badge. GM has begun work on the second generation of the two-seat electric EN-V, which is short for Electric Networked-Vehicle. GM envisions the podlike concept as a long-range solution for traffic-clogged megacities.
