North American International Auto Show (NAIAS)

Jim Federico is the Executive Director, Group Vehicle Line Executive/Vehicle Chief Engineer for Global Compact, Small, Mini and Electric Vehicles. Federico talked to Lou Ann Hammond, CEO of, drivingthenation.com at the 2012 Detroit auto show.

Is General Motors looking into using the battery in the Volt to help power the electric grid?

What are the products Chevy will be bringing to the United States and why have they waited so long to bring a diesel?

“Our customers around the world agree we need to reduce our dependence on petroleum and reduce vehicle carbon emissions,” said Jim Federico, in a press release. “We are working aggressively on vehicle electrification and other technologies, but the most immediate progress will come from continually improving the internal combustion engine.”
