Larry Nitz, General Motors electric and hybrid powertrain engineering executive director, provided an update Tuesday on the Chevrolet Volt, during a development drive on the West Coast.

A fleet of Volts has driven extensively in California from San Francisco to Lake Tahoe to Death Valley, Big Bear and Los Angeles to test the electric vehicle with extended range capability in a range of driving scenarios, all types of terrains and in a variety of altitudes.

During the update, Nitz discussed the Volt's three driving modes - Normal, Sport and Mountain - as well as its two climatic modes - Eco and Comfort. He also addressed the teams' assessment of the three T's that most impact range and fuel efficiency - technique, terrain and temperature.
