In order & 39; have a better idea of what General Motors has done over the past 25 years, it is important & 39; learn about another vehicle surprising: GM TPC. The TPC (which means " Commuter Two Person ") has been able to get 75 miles per gallon. It weighed about 1000 pounds, and resembled a Geo Metro. GM abandoned the project vehicle, which contained a frugal 3-cylinder, when they need & 39; add another 200 pounds of reinforcement. This unfortunate turn of events could be attributed to GM& 39;s need to comply with & 39; America lax security laws.
While then & 39; l & 39; existence of such a vehicle may be shocking to some , what is even more shocking is the & 39; c & 39; there & 39; other prototypes made by General Motors, which together & 39; is the same death. These included the GM vehicles Lean Machine (80 MPG) in 1982, with a number of other & 39; fuel efficient vehicles as GM Aero-X, the GM Aero 2000, and finally the GM Ultralite (which reached 100 miles-per - Gallon). While Honda has led the world with the Civic VX in 1992 (achieve 50 miles per gallon) in the United States owned by the General Motors has been producing 100 MPG vehicles behind the scenes, while selling vehicles to 20 miles MPG by public.
100 Gallon & 39; n is not only to obtain, but it has already been obtained.
One obvious question must be asked. Why are these high gasoline l & 39; mileage vehicles available for sale? Why do companies like General Motors, Honda, Toyota, Ford and continue to sell vehicles 30 MPG when something so much better has been done before? The answer is obviously complex. Market analysis, surveys, polls, governmental regulations and other red tape blocked efficiency.
The short answer to this question is simple: while the United States continues to sell its traditional carriers, other vehicles are bought and sold far & 39; of America, by the companies.
Vehicles Even that can reach more than 70 miles per gallon were sold in Europe and Japan for many years. Recently, Volkswagen has produced a vehicle called " " Lupo, which is a perfect example. This vehicle, which achieves 78 miles per gallon, probably will not be sold in the United States. & 39; For model year 2007, Honda introduced the Fit to the US Market (d & 39; known in other parts of the world as "Jazz"). In Japan, the Jazz comes standard with a smaller engine and some new ideas to help stimulate the & 39; fuel economy. In the United States, the & 39; n Fit has not the smallest engine & 39; and it is not even a option.
Americans have always liked big cars, or at least that is c & 39; & 39; what they tell us. Admittedly, they are the automobile manufacturers. That & 39; has nothing to do with conspiracy theories and everything to do with the economy & 39;. When General Motors sells a gigantic truck or SUV, they make a lot of money & 39;. When they sell a small suburb of two people, they form the avant-& 39; nothing. As a consequence of this realization, all that was needed was broadcast a few finely targeted advertisements to the citizens of the richest country in the world. The manufacturers have persuaded the people who desperately need these reservoirs " " on Wheels. The profits skyrocket. To remind Americans that he & 39; n & 39; there is no & 39; options, look just that the options grow ever been presented.
General Motors has been lucky enough to be the & 39; world leader in the & 39; fuel economy, that & 39; she refuses & 39; be the world leader in the SUV. & 39; N GM is not alone, like any other car company has produced similar vehicles in the last 25 years and denied the & 39; access to & 39; US should not them.
Americans just wondering how they can get better gas mileage, but above all wonder why they & 39; n have ever been given this option in the first place. In a world where wars are fought for oil, & 39; other options should be offered to an interested public. Maybe blowing off the dust of 25 years blue is a good place to start.
