As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors
has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last
year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More
impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including
small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in
technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
