Every Chevrolet vehicle is designed for optimal energy efficiency, whether it's gas, battery, or both. That kind of efficiency doesn't just happen. It's the end result of a combination of technologies engineered specifically to get you where you want to go without ever having to sacrifice.
Six-speed transmissions offer more gear ratios to keep the engine in its most efficient operating range, and direct injection ensures that only the precise amount of fuel needed is used at every moment by injecting fuel directly into the combustion chambers.
Variable Valve Timing enhances torque at lower RPM and increases horsepower at higher RPM. Active Fuel Management is an engine management system that enables the engine to automatically operate on half of its cylinders under light load conditions, improving fuel efficiency and reducing consumption. The drivetrains on our hybrid vehicles(4) use a combination of battery power and gas engine for propulsion, and the electric drivetrains can function on battery power alone.
These fuel-saving technologies are available on many Chevrolet vehicles.
