The debut (officially) of Volt - the flagship of Chevrolet is close to reality - the firm rolled off recently the assembly lines the final pre-production car. These newly-built units will be transferred to Milford test ground of GM for helping Chevrolet decide if the hybrid plug-in can work also with high temperatures and with no risk for passengers.
Keith Brown, a preproduction facility worker, egmcartech.com quoted, said 'This is the same kind of work we do on any new car, but it’s got a different purpose. We want to get off foreign oil. I hope everybody buys the Volt and loves it, and we can push the industry in that direction'.
The 1st Chevrolet Volt pre-production was made created in June and Andrew Farah, the Vehicle Chief Engineer of Chevrolet Volt said there are some tweaks already to be made good and ready for the production unit.
He affirmed in June 'Most of these vehicles will be used for testing and validating the production intent design as well as developing the final vehicle software and controls – we’ll also use them to tune the vehicle’s overall driving experience. Some of these Volts will have very short lives as they’ll be used in safety and structural integrity testing'.
'By exceeding our own pre-production deadlines it allows us additional time to refine the vehicle. We’ve already discovered a few small tweaks we need to make, but nothing out of the ordinary for this stage of development'.
In November Chevrolet Volt will be on sale; the first models are expected to find, reach their customers in that month. Subscribe to Car news by Email |
