General Motors’ Commitment
Santiago Ángel Urdinola, Director of Government Relations of General Motors, assured that they are working to develop technologies that not only protect people on the roads, but also contribute significantly to the protection of biodiversity and the development of the country within an ecological environment.
He highlighted that the vehicles are 100% electric vehicles that belong to the portfolio: the Chevrolet Bolt EUV, the Chevrolet Equinox EV and the Chevrolet Blazer EV.
“With this initiative we reinforce that, by unifying global efforts around sustainability and innovation, we can lead a transformational change that benefits both the community and the environment, aligning our goals with the central pillar of work of this COP16,” Urdinola pointed out.
Emcali also supported the alliance with the installation of six electric charging stations in the Plazoleta Jairo Varela parking lot which, it was reported, has been made available by the company Decotour to host the vehicles provided by General Motors.
