Ib yam uas koj yuav tsis paub txog Detroit yog qhov loj npaum li cas. Ntawm 142.9 square mais, nws tsis loj npaum li Houston, (599.6 mais), tab sis koj tuaj yeem siv sij hawm caij tsheb ncig ntawm Lub Nroog Tsav Tsheb.
Kev lag luam tsheb tseem tseem nyob ntawm no, suav nrog GM (GM), uas muaj nws lub tsev hauv paus hauv plawv nroog thiab cov nroj tsuag sib dhos hauv cheeb tsam. Tsis tas li ntawd, muaj GM's Technical Center, lub txaj ntawm GM txoj kev siv zog engineering rau yuav luag 70 xyoo. Nws yog ib lub tsev kawm ntawv befitting ntawm lub tsheb loj heev. Tsim los ntawm Eero Saarinen, thaj av npog 710 daim av, nrog 11 mais ntawm txoj kev, hla ib mais ntawm qhov av, thiab ob lub pas dej (ib qho yog qee qhov 22 ev kawj) uas siv los ua hluav taws kub ceev.
Lub tsev kawm ntawv tseem muaj 38 lub tsev, suav nrog lub npe nrov GM Tsim Chaw nrog nws qhov txawv Tsim Dome, "chaw zais cia, kaw qhov chaw uas lub tuam txhab cov thawj coj ntsuas kev tsim thiab txiav txim siab lub tsheb yuav tsim," raws li Detroit Free Press tau muab nws rov qab rau xyoo 2015. Nws tseem yog qhov uas kuv zaum nrog GM CEO Mary Barra (hais tias BAR-ah) ntawm Hnub Wednesday.
Barra, uas yog CEO rau yim thiab ib nrab xyoo, muaj txoj haujlwm nyuaj. GM, ib zaug lub tuam txhab loj tshaj plaws hauv Asmeskas thiab lub ntiaj teb no, tam sim no yog 25th loj tshaj los ntawm kev muag khoom hauv Asmeskas, raws li Fortune. Nws yog No. 64 ntawm Fortune's npe thoob ntiaj teb. Nws yog qhov thib yim-loj tshaj automaker los ntawm kev muag khoom hauv ntiaj teb tom qab VW, Toyota, Stellantis (lub qub Fiat Chrysler ntxiv rau Peugeot), Mercedes-Benz, Ford, BMW, thiab Honda.
GM tseem loj txaus los ua ib qho kev sib tw thoob ntiaj teb loj los tswj, uas ua rau Barra tsis khoom ntau. kuv kawg tshawb xyuas nrog Barra hauv lub Tsib Hlis ntawm Milken Conference, qhov twg nws tau tsom mus rau kev tawm ntawm COVID thiab txo qis kev lag luam thoob ntiaj teb semiconductor. Cov kev cov nyom no tseem nyob, tab sis tam sim no Barra tseem xav tau ntau dua los mus dhau tag nrho cov ntawd thiab hloov GM rau hauv lub tuam txhab EV.
Nov yog qee qhov tseem ceeb ntawm kev xam phaj (kho thiab condensed), uas yuav tawm hauv nws tag nrho ntawm lub Yahoo Nyiaj Txiag Txhua Lub Lag Luam Summit hnub Monday, Kaum Hli 17, pib thaum 9 teev sawv ntxov EST.
Kuv pib los ntawm kev nug Barra txog lub tuam txhab tshiab GM Energy ua lag luam, tab sis peb kuj delved rau hauv GM's EV cov khoom line-up, nws cov nqi Tshuag (kwv yees $ 33 ib feem, raws li lub lim tiam no) thiab tag nrho kev lag luam.
Server: GM Zog, koj puas tuaj yeem qhia peb tias qhov ntawd yog dab tsi?
Barra: Yog lawm. Ib qho uas peb xav kom tib neeg nkag siab tsis yog tsuas yog lub tsheb hluav taws xob koj txoj kev tsheb thauj mus los - koj tau li cas los ntawm point A mus rau point B - tab sis nws kuj tuaj yeem yog lub zog. Thiab kuv xav tias qhov ntawd yuav yog ib qho tseem ceeb heev thaum peb ntxiv dag zog rau txoj kab sib chaws hauv txhua lub tebchaws uas peb tab tom ua haujlwm hauv. Thiab ntxiv rau, peb tuaj yeem siv thev naus laus zis. Peb muaj lub roj teeb thev naus laus zis los muab lub zog huv, lub zog cia, thiab tuaj yeem ntxiv rau daim phiaj. Yog li peb zoo siab heev rau lub sijhawm ua lag luam.
Serwer: Lub sijhawm ua lag luam loj npaum li cas?
Barra: Koj paub, peb tseem tsis tau muab cov lej no tawm, tab sis peb pom tias nws tseem ceeb. Tsis yog peb tab tom txav mus rau hauv tsheb hluav taws xob uas peb xav tias nyob ze rau lub sijhawm nruab nrab yuav yog thaj chaw loj hlob, peb muaj lub sijhawm los ua kom zoo dua ntawm ntug dej hiav txwv vim tias qhov ntawd yog qhov chaw EV tau tshwm sim sai dua. Nkag mus rau hauv kev lag luam hluav taws xob tsheb lag luam kuj yog qhov chaw loj hlob rau peb.
[Travis Hester, tus lwm thawj ntawm GM's EV txoj haujlwm loj hlob, hais rau CNBC tag nrho cov chaw nyob ntawm no yog "yog nruab nrab ntawm $ 125 billion thiab $ 250 billion ..." Thiab yog qhov no yog kev lag luam uas Ford thiab Tesla tau nkag mus.]
Serwer: Dab tsi GM tsheb ntawm txoj kev tam sim no yog EVs thiab cov twg yuav tawm xyoo tom ntej?
Barra: Zoo, tam sim no peb muaj Bolt EV thiab Bolt EUV, uas kuv tsav tsheb. Peb kuj muaj GMC Hummer EV thiab peb muaj Cadillac LYRIQ uas nyuam qhuav pib ntau lawm. Yog li ntawd tag nrho tam sim no. Peb tau muaj qhov xav tau zoo li no rau Hummer thiab LYRIQ uas peb tab tom mus rau xyoo tom ntej los ntawm kev txiav txim siab, qee qhov dhau mus. Tab sis tom qab ntawd hauv thawj peb lub hlis twg peb yuav tshaj tawm Silverado EV, thiab tom qab ntawd yog tias koj mus ntev me ntsis rau lub quarter thib ob thiab thib peb, peb yuav muaj ob lub Chevrolet Blazer EV thiab Chevrolet Equinox EV. Yog li thaum peb mus txog qhov no rau xyoo tom ntej, peb muaj ntau cov qauv hauv plawv ntawm kev ua lag luam, feem ntau hauv kev ua lag luam.
Serwer: Mary, GM Tshuag tau lag luam me ntsis dhau xyoo dhau los lossis yog li ntawd, thiab kuv xav tsis thoob tias koj yuav hais li cas rau cov tswv lag luam. Vim li cas ib tug neeg yuav tsum yuav cov khoom lag luam, lossis muaj cov khoom lag luam mus tom ntej?
Barra: Kuv xav tias muaj kev mloog ntau dhau los ntawm xyoo no rau pes tsawg EVs koj muag hnub no? Thiab peb tau nyob rau hauv qhov teeb meem nyuaj vim peb tau ua qhov zoo rau cov neeg siv khoom thiab kev nyab xeeb. Thaum peb pom muaj ib tug manufacturing defect hauv Bolt [roj teeb] cell, peb tau tso tseg kev tsim khoom kom peb tuaj yeem ua cov hlwb hloov pauv rau peb cov neeg siv khoom. Raws li peb tau tsiv mus rau lub xyoo, peb muaj peev xwm, pib tsim lub Bolt dua. Thiab peb tau muaj ob lub hlis sau ua ke ntawm kev muag khoom ntawm Bolt, tab sis kuv xav tias qhov cuam tshuam rau qhov pom thaum ntxov.
Qhov kuv xav hais rau cov tswv lag luam yog, siv sijhawm ntev me ntsis saib, vim qhov no tsis yog kev sib tw ib xyoos. Peb nyob rau theem pib ntawm kev tsav tsheb EV. Thiab thaum koj saib cov tsheb uas peb tau tawm xyoo tom ntej nrog Silverado EV, Equinox thiab Blazer, kuv xav tias nws yuav tso cai rau peb loj hlob. Thiab yog vim li cas peb thiaj li ntseeg siab tias peb yuav tsim ib lab units thiab pom kev xav tau zoo rau peb lub tsheb los ntawm lub sijhawm peb nyob ntawm 2025.
Serwer: Hloov cov iav, qhov kev lag luam tam sim no Mary nyob qhov twg, raws li qhov koj zaum, thiab koj pom dab tsi mus tom ntej?
Barra: Nws yog ib qho nyuaj heev kom paub tseeb tias muaj dab tsi tshwm sim hauv kev ua lag luam vim tias peb tau muab cov khoom txwv ntev heev. Yog li peb paub tias muaj qhov xav tau pent-up, tab sis kuj tseem muaj cov kev sib tw hauv kev thauj mus los thiab kev txav tsheb thaum lawv tsim. Peb tseem tab tom cuam tshuam nrog cov khoom siv hluav taws xob tsis txaus, tab sis tau txais tsheb tsiv mus rau cov neeg muag khoom tau nyuaj, ib yam nkaus. Peb tseem pom muaj kev thov rau ntau yam ntawm peb cov khoom, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog peb cov tsheb loj tag nrho uas yog nruab nrab-loj crossovers. Yog li nws yog lub sijhawm nthuav.
Peb tab tom npaj rau xyoo tom ntej rau ib lub xyoo uas yuav muaj ntau qhov kev thov, tab sis qhov kev thov tsawg dua li qhov peb xav tau. Peb yuav tau conservative. Nco ntsoov tias peb tau teeb tsa peb cov qauv nqi li ntawd, yog li ntawd yog tias cov khoom tig tau zoo dua, peb nyob zoo. Tab sis qhov tseem ceeb tshaj plaws, vim tias peb muaj ntau qhov tseem ceeb tshaj tawm EV rau xyoo tom ntej, peb xav kom paub tseeb tias peb tuaj yeem pab nyiaj rau peb lub neej yav tom ntej txawm hais tias kev lag luam nyob qhov twg - kev poob qis, kev poob qis, tag nrho cov lus uas tau siv. Peb xav npaj tsis hais ib puag ncig.
Serwer: Koj tau hais txog qhov tsis txaus thiab cov saw hlau. Puas yog kev txhim kho? Thiab tom qab ntawd dab tsi txog qee qhov teeb meem ntawm cov khoom lag luam uas koj yuav muaj nrog cov roj teeb thiab cov khoom siv muaj?
Barra: Peb pom cov khoom lag luam semiconductor txhim kho peb lub hlis twg los ntawm peb lub hlis twg, tab sis peb tseem pom kev hloov pauv ntau dua li peb tau siv los. Kuv xav tias ib qho ntawm cov laj thawj rau qhov ntawd yog cov saw hlau tau nthuav dav heev, yog li peb tab tom nrhiav kev txhim kho thaum peb mus tom ntej. Tab sis nws tseem yog ib qho teeb meem. Ib qho ntawm cov khoom uas yuav yog tus yuam sij rau kev xauv ntau Hummers, ntau LYRIQs thiab tag nrho peb lub tsheb, yog cov roj teeb. Thiab peb nyob nraum ua tau khiav lub roj teeb cog hauv Ohio tam sim no. Thiab raws li qhov muaj peev xwm nce mus, ntau lub hlwb yuav muab peb lub peev xwm los muab ntau lub tsheb hluav taws xob. Peb yeej tau kos npe rau daim ntawv cog lus rau kev tsim khoom uas peb xav tau ntawm tam sim no thiab 2025 kom tau mus rau peb lab units hauv 2025 hauv Tebchaws Meskas thiab ntau dua li hauv Suav teb.
Serwer: Koj yog tus kws tshaj lij thiab kuv nkag siab yog tias koj tau poob rau hauv cov ntsiab lus thaum nws los txog rau cov specs thiab xyuas kom meej tias lub tsheb nta yog ib yam uas koj xav tias cov neeg siv khoom nyiam. Txoj cai?
Barra: Yog lawm. Peb muaj ib pab neeg txawj ntse heev ntawm General Motors thiab peb ua raws li qhov kev tshawb fawb, tab sis yog, kuv kuj yog cov neeg siv khoom. Yog li peb pawg thawj coj tuaj rau hauv chav no lossis ntawm cov nroj tsuag. Thiab peb tab tom saib cov tsheb kom paub tseeb tias lawv yuav ua li cas cov neeg siv khoom tab tom nrhiav, thiab peb yuav yeej qhov ntu.
