A senior GM official says the automaker will not provide its Chinese partner SAIC with the technology secrets of the Chevy Volt. The partnership will focus on the development of an all-new battery-electric vehicle. The Beijing government plans to invest billions of dollars in an effort to create a market for various forms of battery electric vehicles in the coming years, and GM does not want to be left out. Details of the new GM/SAIC project have not yet been released.
