General Motors ha anunciado que abandonar\u00e1 en gran medida el motor de combusti\u00f3n interna para 2035. El nuevo enfoque se centrar\u00e1 en los \"veh\u00edculos ligeros\"; se trata de turismos y veh\u00edculos comerciales ligeros de hasta 3,8 toneladas, seg\u00fan la definici\u00f3n estadounidense. Expl\u00edcitamente, la empresa quiere \"eliminar las emisiones del tubo de escape\" a partir de 2035.<\/p>\n
Esto es lo que escribe la empresa estadounidense en un comunicado de prensa. Esto significa tambi\u00e9n un rechazo a los propulsores h\u00edbridos. Adem\u00e1s, esta redacci\u00f3n excluye la opci\u00f3n que se deja a otros fabricantes en sus objetivos de neutralidad de CO2: los combustibles sint\u00e9ticos podr\u00edan producirse de forma neutra para el clima, pero seguir\u00edan emitiendo gases de escape.<\/p>\n
Los nuevos turismos y veh\u00edculos comerciales ligeros de GM ser\u00e1n, por tanto, exclusivamente el\u00e9ctricos a partir de 2035, ya sea con bater\u00edas o, en algunos segmentos, con hidr\u00f3geno. GM quiere ser completamente neutra en emisiones de CO2 para 2040.<\/p>\n
La consejera delegada Mary Barra alega que 75% de las emisiones de CO2 de General Motors proceden de los tubos de escape de los veh\u00edculos vendidos en un post de LinkedIn en el que explica la medida. El anuncio del grupo se produjo un d\u00eda despu\u00e9s de que el nuevo presidente de EE.UU., Joe Biden, firmara una amplia orden ejecutiva sobre acci\u00f3n clim\u00e1tica.<\/p>\n
Es cierto que General Motors s\u00f3lo en noviembre de 2020 hab\u00eda aumentado considerablemente su presupuesto para la movilidad el\u00e9ctrica y prev\u00e9 invertir 27.000 millones de d\u00f3lares en el desarrollo y la producci\u00f3n de coches el\u00e9ctricos de aqu\u00ed a 2025. Sin embargo, la empresa de Barra sigue realizando la mayor parte de sus ventas con coches de gasolina y en unos pocos mercados con veh\u00edculos di\u00e9sel y todav\u00eda est\u00e1 en proceso de dando la vuelta a su posici\u00f3n<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" General Motors ha anunciado que abandonar\u00e1 en gran medida el motor de combusti\u00f3n interna para 2035.

For the USA, the goal is somewhat more concrete: 40 per cent of the models offered there in 2025 are battery-electric vehicles. But at the end of March, Reuters<\/em> had reported, citing internal production planning, that GM and Ford were only planning on around five per cent electric cars by 2026, despite full-bodied announcements.<\/p>\n However, the first model of this e-offensive will still not be on the market by the beginning of 2021, so the interim goal alone is ambitious – especially considering the problems European carmakers have had in recent years with the launch of their electric models. A big advantage for the Americans could be their own battery factory “Ultium Cells LLC<\/a>” in Ohio, which GM is building together with LG Chem (today LG Energy Solutions).<\/p>\n By 2030, all US locations are also to be powered 100 per cent by renewable energies, and from 2035 all locations worldwide. The company wants to cover the expected remaining CO2 emissions with certificates.<\/p>\n To ensure that the electric cars can be operated cleanly, GM says it is working together with EVgo. By the end of 2025, the two partners want to build more than 2,700 new fast-charging stations in the USA, all of which will be powered by green electricity. This should also help to increase the acceptance of electric mobility, GM said.<\/p>\n “General Motors is joining governments and companies around the globe working to establish a safer, greener and better world,” Barra said, according to the statement. “We encourage others to follow suit and make a significant impact on our industry and the economy as a whole.”<\/p>\n Those governments, of course, include their own. US President Joe Biden last night issued an Executive Order<\/a> which put the climate crisis and tackling it at the centre of all future policies and budget.<\/p>\n
