摘要
General Motors Corp. will sell its first gas-electric hybrid cars in China in July, introducing a model created in part by GM＇s Shanghai design center. The Buick LaCrosse will be the second hybrid to enter the Chinese automobile market following Toyota Motor Corp＇s Prius in early 2006. The LaCrosse will be priced under 300,000 yuan （$43,000） - comparable to the Prius. The car was developed with contributions from GM＇s Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center in Shanghai. Hybrids improve fuel efficiency and cut emissions by generating extra power from the brakes as a vehicle tops. But they also cost more because they require both gasoline and electric motors.
