Our team is part of the Energy and Propulsion Systems Research (EPSR) lab in R&D where we concentrate on the research, innovation, and development of future electrification and propulsion technologies.

GM has been leading the way of developing VHM technology to provide customers with an unprecedented level of assurance, convenience, and ownership experience. An example of VHM is the industry-first OnStar Proactive Alert, a service that is currently available on more than 10 million vehicles. It provides early warning to customers in case a component failure is impending, thereby turning emergency repairs into scheduled maintenance events.
