GM Is Sticking with Gasoline Engines for Now
• Profits from pickup truck sales allow the company to invest heavily in electrification.General Motors has, over the past year, been presenting future electric models as part of its move away from traditional gasoline engine technology. The American giant has laid out ambitious goals for its EVs, including outpacing Tesla by the middle of this decade.
All the same, GM does not intend to abandon the gasoline engine anytime soon. The company's president, Mark Reuss told Fox Business recently that GM is not ready to leave segments where combustion engine models largely dominate sales.“The internal combustion engine era is not over. We're not going to abandon the segments where these engines are dominant, like with GMC and Chevrolet pickups,” said Reuss.
On Friday, GM CEO Mary Barra said that the company’s electric vehicles will become profitable starting in 2025. Once that happens, the company won't have the same reliance on profits from its pickup truck sales to fund electrification. GM will still need those profits, of course, and we can bet it won’t turn the faucet off on those until it has to.
