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.

GM, estimating revenue greater than US$ 20 billion in the electric vehicle component market by the end of the decade, aims to position itself in four key areas: CM Powered Solutions, Chevy Performance and Aftermarket, Marine Propulsion, and Ground Support Equipment.

It is worth noting that General Motors has already given the public an idea of the various possibilities for transforming combustion cars into electric ones, particularly highlighting conversion kits for classics like the Chevrolet E-10, Camaro eCOPO, Blazer-E k5, or an independently converted El Camino SS. According to the GM statement, these solutions will hit the market next year.

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.
