AAH #208 - GM has Big Plans for its Truck Business

GM's truck operation, if you were to separate it from the rest of
the company, would be one of the most profitable automotive
ventures in the world. So, perhaps you can understand why so much
one-upmanship goes on between the truck brands. Working to keep
Chevrolet and GMC on the cutting edge is Jeff Luke, the Executive
Chief Engineer of GM Full-Size Trucks. He'll be our special guest
this week and we'll be asking what technologies GM is looking at --
CNG? LPG? Turbocharging? Light-duty diesel? As usual, we'll also
get into the biggest news of the week: Nissan sets an ambitious
goal for achieving autonomy, Carlos Tavares gets the boot from
Renault, and VW protests a lack of diesel incentives. Joining host
John McElroy in studio is Peter De Lorenzo, the Autoextremist, and
Gary Vasilash from Automotive Design and Production.
