In the first mode, at low speed and light load, the vehicle can operate in three ways: electric power, engine power, or in any combination of electric and engine power. When operating with electric power, it provides all the efficiency of a full hybrid system. The second mode is used primarily at highway speeds to optimize efficiency. It provides electric assist in addition to four-cylinder or full eight-cylinder power when conditions demand it, such as trailer towing and climbing steep grades. Put another way, you´ll experience the benefit of excellent efficiency while also having access to plenty of horsepower and torque. In either mode, it´s a truck that works in the real world when being driven by real people and is one of the many ways Chevy is working to produce a variety of fuel solutions.
