General Motors Is Investing to Provide All Its Customers with a Kit That Can Transform Combustion Cars into Electric Cars

General Motors recently announced that it will expand electrification to an unprecedented level, going beyond the launch of new electric cars. The brand aims to offer a wide range of options for converting old combustion cars, boats, and other vehicles. According to a GM statement, this approach will allow the company to broaden its reach to a larger and more diverse group of customers, helping businesses meet the high demand for technology that does not emit gases while achieving their own sustainability goals.

General Motors Estimates Revenue of US$ 20 Billion by 2030

According to GM’s Vice President of Electric Vehicle Growth Operations, Travis Hester, the company has an established strategy, a network of integrators, and co-development agreements to offer a broad range of components and solutions to a wide array of customers.

Customers Will Benefit from the Vast Network of Resources for Combustion Cars

In the future, the company intends to install the latest technology for electric cars, regardless of battery generation or chemistry, to electrify a wide range of applications across various segments.

According to Hester, all the company’s customers will benefit from GM’s vast network of resources, experience, and support as an innovator on the path to electrification.

As General Motors advances its Ultium Platform and other technologies focused on emission neutrality, it will anticipate smaller, more flexible, and affordable components and offerings over time.

Conversion Will Not Be Restricted to Just Combustion Cars

As mentioned earlier, the conversion plan will not be limited to just combustion cars. In the Ground Support Equipment sector, the company will offer conversion kits to electrify vehicles in the airport segment, for example.

The company’s strategy also covers Marine Propulsion, a sector where General Motors has invested in purchasing shares of Pure Watercraft, a startup specializing in zero-emission maritime transport. The aim is to create and market a line of battery-electric boats.

Finally, the offensive also includes goals for the Hydrotec division for hydrogen-powered planes and BrightDrop, which is responsible for commercial vehicle operations. According to the statement, additional information and details, as well as specific product applications for each area, will be announced later.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

At 30 km altitude and nearly 7,000 km/h, the 14-X demonstrator of the Brazilian Air Force tested a scramjet engine without moving parts in Alcântara, in a project with the ambitious goal of reaching Mach 10, which has just received a historic investment of R$ 93 million from Finep.
