General Motors Precept

General Motors Precept

The General Motors Precept was a 2000 low emission vehicle concept car aimed at establishing U.S. leadership in the development of extremely fuel-efficient vehicles while retaining the features that make them marketable and affordable. It was introduced at the North American International Auto Show as part of the Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles with the rest of the Big Three and the US Government. GM was able to meet the convert|80|mpgus|L/100 km mpgimp|abbr=on fuel economy goal with the Precept, creating both a fuel cell and hybrid version of the car.

GM ended the project in 2000, claiming no one would be interested in buying the vehicle. The PNGV program, which President Clinton produced, was abandoned by the Bush administration and replaced with the FreedomCAR vehicle program.
