Summary
This compendium presents the most complete design and engineering story available anywhere about this groundbreaking new vehicle. It also introduces you to the engineering team and how they made the world's first production extended-range electric vehicle a reality.
Topics include the Volt's systems, components, and model-based design; a behind-the-wheel look at a Volt prototype; and how the Volt's engineering team used OnStar to collect test drive data from preproduction Volt vehicles. There is also an interview with GM's Micky Bly in which the executive explains how the Volt program enabled GM to take new approaches to vehicle electrical architectures.
