General Motors announced a world with zero crashes, zero emissions, and zero congestion. And a key part of that has to do with an all-electric future.

In the next 18 months, GM will introduce two new all-electric vehicles based off learnings from the Chevrolet Bolt EV. They will be the first of at least 20 new all-electric vehicles that will launch by 2023.

With its capability and flexible architecture, SURUS could be used as a delivery vehicle, truck or even an ambulance all emissions free.
