据油价网纽约报道，美国通用汽车公司正在全力迈向全电动汽车的未来，目标是在2035年前消除新型轻型汽车的所有尾气排放，这是通用汽车公司在2040年前实现碳中和的更广泛战略的一部分。
在1月28日发表的一份重要声明中，这家美国销量最高的汽车制造商表示，到本世纪中叶前，该公司将在全球推出30款全电动汽车。到2025年底前，该公司在美国销售的车型中，将有40%是纯电动汽车(BEVs)。
未来5年，通用汽车公司将在电动汽车和自动驾驶汽车领域投资270亿美元。这远高于疫情开始前计划的200亿美元。
通用汽车公司董事长兼首席执行官玛丽 巴拉在一份声明中表示，“通用汽车公司正与全球各国政府和企业一道，努力建立一个更安全、更环保、更美好的世界。”
巴拉补充说，“我们鼓励其他公司效仿，这将对我们的行业和整个经济产生重大影响。”
1月早些时候，通用汽车公司公布了新的标识和品牌标识，明确表示将大幅提升其电动汽车产品。
通用汽车公司表示，作为碳中和承诺的一部分，通用天然气公司与美国环境保护基金(EDF)合作来开发一个全电动未来的共同愿景。
在评论通用汽车公司的“清洁汽车”公告时，法国电力公司总裁弗雷德·克鲁伯在一篇博文中写道：“当一家领先的美国汽车制造商采取这样的措施时，它向整个行业发出了一个强有力的信号，即走向零排放是每个汽车制造商商业计划的一个基本要素。”
就在通用汽车公司宣布2035年前实现全电动化的几天前，美国新任总统拜登承诺，作为他气候议程的一部分，将用电动汽车取代拥有近65万辆车的强大联邦车队。

GM Will Go All Electric By 2035
GM is going all-in toward an all-electric future, aiming to eliminate all tailpipe emissions from new light-duty vehicles by 2035 as part of a wider strategy to become a carbon-neutral business by 2040.
In a major announcement on Thursday, the highest-selling U.S. automaker said it would offer 30 all-electric models globally by the middle of this decade. A total of 40 percent of the company’s U.S. models offered will be battery electric vehicles (BEVs) by the end of 2025.
The automaker is investing $27 billion in electric and autonomous vehicles in the next five years. That’s up from the $20 billion planned before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“General Motors is joining governments and companies around the globe working to establish a safer, greener and better world,” Mary Barra, GM Chairman and CEO, said in a statement.
“We encourage others to follow suit and make a significant impact on our industry and on the economy as a whole,” Barra added.
Earlier this month, GM unveiled a new logo and brand identity, making it clear it would significantly boost its EV offering.
As part of the carbon-neutral pledge, GM gas worked with the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) to develop a shared vision of an all-electric future, the carmaker said today.
Commenting on GM’s ‘clean cars’ announcement, EDF President Fred Krupp wrote in a blog post:
“When a leading U.S. carmaker takes such a step, it sends a powerful signal to the industry that being on the road to zero emissions is an essential element of every automaker’s business plan.”
GM’s announcement on zero-emission vehicles by 2035 comes days after President Joe Biden vowed to replace the almost 650,000-strong federal vehicle fleet with electric cars as part of his climate agenda.
