GM’s ground-breaking 2-mode hybrid system optimizes power and torque for various driving conditions. In the first mode, at low speed and light loads, the vehicle can operate in three ways: electric power only, engine power only, or any combination of engine and electric power. When operating with electric power only, it provides all the fuel savings benefits of a full hybrid system. Leaving the engine shut off for extended periods of time and moving under electric power is key to reducing fuel consumption in heavy stop-and-go traffic.

The second mode is used primarily at highway speeds to optimize fuel economy, while providing full engine power when conditions demand it, such as trailer towing or climbing steep grades. Customers will experience the satisfaction of low fuel consumption while maintaining SUV-like power and utility.

GM plans to have 12 hybrid options of your most popular cars and trucks including the Chevrolet Malibu and Tahoe, and GMC Yukon on the road later this year.
