DETROIT, USA (AP) — General Motors says production is set to begin late
next year on a luxury version of its Chevrolet Volt hybrid.
The automaker said Tuesday the Cadillac ELR will be assembled at the
Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly plant. That plant makes the Chevrolet Volt,
Opel Ampera and Holden Volt.

The Cadillac will run on electricity and carry a four-cylinder gasoline
engine to generate power when the batteries run out of juice. It’s based
on the Cadillac Converj, a concept car unveiled in 2009 at the Detroit
auto show.
GM North America President Mark Reuss said in a statement that the car
is “further proof of our commitment to electric vehicles and advanced
technology.”
The company will invest US$35 million at the plant, which hasn’t produced a two-door car since the 1999 Cadillac Eldorado.
