Twenty-five years from now, it is estimated that:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0 The global population will exceed 9 billion, according to the United Nations<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0 There will be more than 40 cities with populations exceeding 10 million<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0 Wind and solar energy will account for nearly half of installed capacity and 34 percent of electricity generation worldwide by 2040.

Through innovative technology, we have an historic opportunity to make personal mobility safer, simpler and more sustainable for customers around the world.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/212189234\/inarticle --><\/p>\n<p>To achieve this vision, we are developing advanced driver assist technologies that form the building blocks of a safer, more connected transportation future. We also use less energy and water, generate less waste and emit less carbon to manufacture a vehicle than ever before. Our solar, wind and landfill gas use makes us one of the world\u2019s largest industrial consumers of renewable energy. And we are making steady progress toward the day when we can deploy autonomous vehicles into urban ridesharing fleets.<\/p>\n<h2>Here is what our current and future customers can expect to see as we travel the next 25 years together:<\/h2>\n<p><b>More Zero-Emissions Vehicles<\/b><\/p>\n<p>We believe the future of personal mobility involves the convergence of electric, connected, shared and autonomous vehicles, and we are investing in innovations that rewrite the rules of vehicle use and ownership.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15783\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15783\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-15783 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/test.greenmoney.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Chevy-BoltEV-028.jpg\" alt=\"Chevy BoltEV-028\" width=\"750\" height=\"475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/test.greenmoney.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Chevy-BoltEV-028.jpg 750w, https:\/\/test.greenmoney.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Chevy-BoltEV-028-300x190.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15783\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>2017 Chevrolet BoltEV<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>New battery technologies helped us launch the Chevrolet Bolt EV, our platform for future autonomous vehicle development.

Bolt EVs on the road have already traveled 28 million miles.<\/p>\n<p>Other clean-energy technologies such as hydrogen fuel cells hold great potential for land, sea and air applications.
