The brand-new modular Ultium Platform from General Motors’ will be the core of our sustainable future—and due to Ultium’s pouch cell design, we will easily be able to offer a wide range of EV styles and sizes.
With GM’s Ultium platform the ability to offer a wide range of trucks, SUVs, crossovers, cars and commercial vehicles is realised due its modular battery and drive unit combinations. Not only does it provide a platform for various vehicles but it also delivers outstanding design, performance, range and affordability.
With a modular, flexible design and a common cell across different vehicle types, the battery is the core of the Ultium system. For pickups and SUVs, the cells are stacked vertically and for performance vehicles the cells are stacked horizontally allowing us to build EVs regardless of what the situation calls for.
Ultium Drive, made up of electric motors, single-speed transmissions and their integrated power electronics, gives our EVs their power and torque.
GM will be the first automaker to use an almost completely wireless battery management system for EVs. The batteries will also be easier to reuse for second-life applications because a common set of battery components will be used to power multiple types of EVs.
