Chevrolet Volt now heading to Canadian dealers The award-winning Chevrolet Volt has started shipping to Canadian dealerships heading for retail customers in Vancouver, Victoria, Toronto, Oshawa, Ottawa-Gatineau, Montreal and Quebec City. Kevin Williams, president and managing director for General Motors of Canada, released the first Canadian Volt customer shipments at an event in Oshawa this morning, and dealers will begin delivering vehicles now. Chevrolet Volt is an electric vehicle with extended range. Powered by GM's revolutionary Voltec propulsion system, it consists of a 16kWh lithium-ion battery pack and electric drive unit that provide battery electric range between 40 and 80 km, depending on terrain, driving techniques and temperature. After the battery is depleted, an engine-generator seamlessly extends Volt's range an additional 500 km by generating electricity to operate the vehicle's electric drive system. --Metroland Media Carguide Magazine 7 WHEELS September 08, 2011 Kevin Williams, president and managing director for General Motors of Canada, is shown with the first shipment of Chevrolet Volts destined for Canadian dealerships. This Odyssey minivan is one of 14 vehicles being supplied by Honda as part of the Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Relay. Honda aids Relay On August 24, as the Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Relay started off in Cape Spear, Newfoundland, it was propelled by more than the legs and wheels of 7,000 relay participants; it will also be powered by Honda Canada. As the Official Vehicle Supplier of the Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Relay, Honda is providing a fleet of vehicles to transport relay participants and staff in their 12,000-kilometre, nine-month trek across the country. The 14-vehicle fleet consists of new Honda and Acura vehicles, including four Acura MDXs, six Honda Pilots, one Honda Ridgeline, and three Honda Odyssey minivans that are retrofit to accommodate passengers in wheelchairs. Honda has always had a focus on mobility solutions, not only through its cars, trucks and motorcycles, but also through innovations designed to make the world more accessible like the companys ASIMO humanoid robot as well as its Stride Management Assist and Bodyweight Support Assist devices. The Honda and Acura vehicles will be on route for the duration of the Relay, as the convoy retraces the Canadian leg of Rick Hansen's original `Man In Motion World Tour' in 1986, coincidentally the same year Honda started manufacturing cars in Canada.
