General Motors to launch 10 EVs in China

Car company General Motors is planning to launch 10 electric and hybrid cars in China by 2020.

The company’s president, Matt Tsien, told a conference during the Shanghai auto show that the firm is set to start producing an electric car model in China in about two years.

General Motors expects annual sales of 150,000 electric and hybrid cars in the country by 2020.

Tsien said: "In the next several years, out to 2020, we expect to launch at least 10 new energy vehicles into the marketplace. We have a pipeline that is going to materialise, that's going to put us in a very good position from a fuel economy requirement perspective.”
