Under Wagoner's leadership, GM has actively pursued development of diesel-electric hybrid powertrains for transit buses. GM diesel-electric hybrid drives will power 335 transit buses in North America by the end of 2004 saving more than one million gallons of fuel annually. Earlier today, GM announced a joint hybrid bus program with Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation for the China market.
