The U.S. president, Barack Obama, was an important condition to GM and Chrysler companies to rescue them from bankruptcy: In consideration of the maintenance must increase its production of hybrid cars or build more vehicles that are efficient.
However, this kind of change takes a certain time, while those companies do not because of its tight financial situation. Although the auto companies have been working for a long time to meet the requirements “CAFE” which was exhibited at the 2007 and 2020, make clear that cars should pay 56 km / liter; still the production of efficient cars does not cover even half of market for these companies. In fact, only 2% of vehicle sales in the U.S. are hybrid cars.
However, GM and Chrysler companies must begin to make more of these cars if they want to get the government money they need to stay.
GM has already begun to take action and decided to replace their single electric car, the subcompact Chevrolet Aveo, the Chevrolet Spark, a hybrid with better design, but that will have to wait until 2011, although the Spark already been presented in the Chicago Auto Show. Also invested in the production Chevrolet Volt electric car, which although it requires a large investment that the U.S. Treasury Department. States seem to mind (bearing in mind that other hybrid vehicles are cheaper) the Chevrolet Volt could attract more consumers and thus GM would accomplish the fuel economy rules.
