 <title><![CDATA[Vauxhall/Opel Ampera - GM's hybrid for Europe]]></title>
 <pubDate>Wed, 21 Jul 2010 14:38 +0000</pubDate>
 <description><![CDATA[The Opel / Vauxhall Ampera is the European version of the Chevrolet Volt due for launch in 2012. It’s a plug-in series hybrid or as GM call it, an E-REV – Extended-Range Electric Vehicle. The battery range is 40 miles but a petrol engine extends the range to over 300 miles, so lessening ‘range anxiety’. GM will build the car at Ellesmere Port if the Coalition Government provides funding of £30m.                                                                                                                                                         <br/><br/>]]></description>
