Introduce Shanghai Brand Vehicle Powered by GM System

Shanghai – General Motors Corp. and Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp. Group
(SAIC) announced today the launch of SAIC’s Shanghai Brand Fuel Cell Vehicle,
which is powered by GM’s latest fourth-generation fuel cell propulsion
technology.

The vehicle from SAIC uses the same 700 bar high-pressure hydrogen fuel cell
system adopted in the Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell. Ten Shanghai Brand Fuel
Cell Vehicles will be built. The zero-emission high-tech vehicles will join
the Equinox Fuel Cell as part of a fleet of both GM and SAIC vehicles to
shuttle VIPs at World Expo 2010 Shanghai.

“The Shanghai and Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell vehicles will be featured in the
most extensive fuel cell demonstration program ever conducted in China. This
follows the government’s call for the creation of a sustainable transportation
system,” said GM Group Vice President and GM Asia Pacific President Nick
Reilly. “GM supports China’s move toward sustainability, and we are providing
our latest fuel cell technology in line with our overall strategy of in China,
with China, for China.”

SAIC engineers have been co-located at GM facilities in Germany and GM
engineers have been co-located at SAIC facilities in China to produce the
vehicles. The original Equinox fuel cell propulsion system has been modified
and improved to fit into the Shanghai Brand Fuel Cell Vehicle.

GM and SAIC are the exclusive joint global automobile partner of World Expo
2010 Shanghai. In line with the exposition’s theme of “Better City, Better
Life,” GM and SAIC plan to showcase their solutions for sustainable
transportation while promoting the vehicles of tomorrow at their corporate
pavilion.

The two automakers, which operate eight joint ventures in China, earlier
signed a pair of agreements to promote advanced vehicle technology. Their
Shanghai GM joint venture began selling the Buick LaCrosse Eco-Hybrid last
year as part of its Drive to Green strategy. China is slated to become one of
the first markets for the Chevrolet Volt extended-range electric vehicle in
2011.

GM has deployed more than 100 Equinox Fuel Cell vehicles around the globe,
making it the largest fuel cell electric vehicle fleet to date. Vehicles are
being driven by a wide range of customers, businesses, government agencies,
celebrities and media as part of Project Driveway.
