Today, the No. 1 U.S. auto maker by sales, usually the most conservative of Detroit&#8217;s Big Three, has assigned hundreds of engineers and millions of dollars to an effort to become the greenest company in the auto industry. Engineering teams at GM&#8217;s technical center in Warren, Mich., are scrambling to turn a recently unveiled electric concept car into a production vehicle within three to four years. This month, GM kicked off a drive to hire 400 technical experts to work on fuel-saving technology and other innovations, and became the first auto maker to sign up for a cap-and-trade system for carbon emissions, which are blamed for global warming. This year, GM&#8217;s research labs are scheduled to turn its hydrogen fuel-cell technology over to an engineering group that prepares new powertrains for commercial launch, a sign of increased determination to put hydrogen-powered vehicles on the road.<\/p>\n<p>News selected by Covalence <span class=\"LinkBlueTransMedium\">| Country: <\/span>USA <span class=\"LinkBlueTransMedium\">| Company: <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalquote.com\/newTemplate\/index.php\/ethicalquote\/?value=6\"><span name=\"intelliTxt\" id=\"intelliTXT\"><\/span><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalquote.com\/newTemplate\/index.php\/ethicalquote\/?value=5\"><span class=\"LinkBlueTransMedium\"><\/span><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalquote.com\/newTemplate\/index.php\/ethicalquote\/?value=3\" class=\"LinkBluePgtMedium\"><span style=\"font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial\">General Motors<\/span><\/a> <span name=\"intelliTxt\" id=\"intelliTXT\"><\/span><span class=\"LinkBlueTransMedium\">| <\/span>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/online.wsj.com\/article\/SB118039811532316643.html?mod=googlenews_wsj\" target=\"_blank\">Wall Street Journal<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Five years ago, General Motors Corp. gave the world the Hummer H2, a vehicle so fuel-thirsty that GM took advantage of a federal loophole that allowed the company not to publish its estimated mileage.
