Today, we awarded two development contracts for battery technology related to the E-Flex electric architecture that will underpin the Chevy Volt. I’d like to give you a little perspective about what today’s announcement really means.

It demonstrates our seriousness to develop automotive technologies that lower oil consumption, lower oil imports and reduce carbon emissions. It shows that we remain strongly committed to bringing the E-Flex system to production. And it shows real progress in developing the batteries that are necessary to make the Volt an affordable reality. Most of all, it is a commitment by the people at GM to contribute in a meaningful way to the improvement of our planet. I can’t tell you how proud we are of what we are trying to achieve.
