FOR its large S.U.V.’s — and later this year, for full-size pickups — General Motors needed a hybrid system that would save fuel without sacrificing the hauling, towing and highway performance that endears these trucks to customers.
为了装备大型 SUV，以及今年晚些时候将要推出的全尺寸皮卡，通用汽车需要一个成熟的混合动力系统，在节省燃料的同时又不会牺牲牵引/拖曳和高速公路行驶性能，而卡车的顾客看重的正是这些方面。
