ALTERNATIVE FUEL VEHICLES
We’re dedicated to designing, building and selling the world’s best vehicles with your business needs and bottom line in mind. Propelled by innovation, our engineers are developing advanced technologies to improve fuel economy,
decrease emissions and a reduced our dependence on petroleum.
We already have 14 models that offer an EPA-est. 30 MPG highway, including
several hybrids. Just last year we introduced the dynamic new Volt1 – the world's
first extended-range gas-generated electric vehicle. But we're not stopping there;
we're expanding our range of alternative fuel technologies with Compressed Natural
Gas (CNG) and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). Plus other exciting options like
diesel, biofuels and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, which will help us continue to deliver
not only the world's best vehicles, but also the world's leading technology.
We’re dedicated to designing and selling the world's best vehicles with your business needs and bottom line in mind. Propelled by innovation, our engineers are developing alternative fuel vehicles and advanced technologies to optimize fuel economy and help reduce our dependence on petroleum.
We continue to work efficiently, so you can too. Thanks to a committed research program, many of our models offer innovative engine advancements such as Active Fuel Management, diesel technology, and Spark-Ignition Direct Injection that helps optimize fuel economy. All are designed to help you run a smart and cost-effective business fleet.
For 2017, General Motors offers 27 models with an EPA-estimated 30 MPG highway1 or greater:

FlexFuel
In the quest to help reduce gasoline consumption, there are answers — biofuels, such as E85 ethanol2 and B20 diesel. These alternatives could help offset future vehicle energy demands.
E85 Ethanol
We offer multiple 2017 FlexFuel vehicle models, including:
- Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV
- Chevrolet Silverado, Silverado HD, Express, Suburban, Impala and Equinox
- GMC Sierra, Sierra HD, Savana, Yukon, Yukon XL, and Terrain
- Chevrolet Caprice, Silverado SSV, Tahoe PPV and SSV, and Express Police Transport.
Biodiesel — Duramax® 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 Engine
All of our available Duramax 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 engines are capable of running on B20 biodiesel. The Duramax powers the redesigned Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra heavy-duty pickups.
Electrification
The Chevrolet Volt gives you the benefits of an electric vehicle while offering extended range capability using gasoline. Its stunning design and available advanced safety features are paired with an efficient dual-electric motor and a 1.5L direct injected high-efficiency engine, allowing for up to 53 pure electric miles3 on a single full charge and more than 420 highway miles of total range with a full charge and a full tank of gasoline.3 When the battery runs low, a gas-powered engine/generator seamlessly operates to extend the driving range.
With an all-electric drive system and an EPA-estimated 238 miles of range per full charge4, the Chevrolet Bolt EV, available in select markets, is the electric vehicle that can add a charge to your business. Thanks to an innovative battery cell arrangement, Bolt EV features an enclosed low-profile underbody that maximizes interior space for both passengers and cargo. The available 240-volt charging unit can provide Bolt EV up to 25 miles of range per hour of charge time, with a complete recharge requiring about 9 hours.5
