Geneva '08: Hitachi will supply batteries for new GM Hybrid system
Filed under: Hybrid, GM, Geneva Motor Show
Following the publication of our earlier story on the new generation GM Hybrid system this morning we got some more details from General Motors during their Geneva press conference. Prior to the show, GM declined to say who was supplying the lithium ion batteries for the system. We now know that Hitachi Vehicle Energy Ltd. will be supplying the batteries, a first for a GM system. The second-generation hybrid system will debut on North American models in 2010 and quickly spread globally, including in the production version of the Saab 9-X that is appearing as a concept in Geneva.
