The General Motors Precept was a 2000 low emission vehicle concept car aimed at meeting the 80 mpg-US (2.9 L/100 km; 96 mpg-imp) fuel economy goal of the Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles between the US Government and GM, Ford, and Chrysler. GM was able to meet the 80 mpg-US (2.9 L/100 km; 96 mpg- imp) fuel economy goal with the Precept, creating versions using Lithium and NiMH batteries with diesel, fuel cell and other hybrid version of the car. GM ended the project in 2000, claiming no one would be interested in buying a high fuel economy vehicle. The near-term PNGV program, introduced during the Clinton Administration, was terminated by the Bush administration and replaced with the distant goals of the FreedomCAR vehicle program. The Precept was never designed for production, but some of the ideas may have found their way into GM''s "dual-mode" hybrid system. The Precept used two 35 kW electric motors, one on the front axle and one on the rear axle.
