General Motors Co. this morning announced plans to introduce an all-new plug-in hybrid Buick crossover sport-utility vehicle in 2011, the Detroit Free Press reported.
The Detroit automaker also has scheduled an event Aug. 13 to officially announce its investment in the automaker’s new Brownstown Township, Mich., battery pack assembly facility, the paper said. The facility will produce the lithium ion battery packs for the Chevrolet Volt and other future extended range electric vehicles, the Free Press said.
The yet-to-be named Buick SUV will launch in late 2010 with a direct-injection gasoline engine and then be followed in 2011 with a plug-in hybrid model, the company said. GM expects its vehicle to be the first commercially available plug-in hybrid SUV produced by a major automaker, the story said. (Detroit Free Press)
