General Motors has confirmed a tasty bit of information surrounding its upcoming electric pickup truck. It's not only going to debut soon, but it will launch in 2021.
GM CEO Mary Barra shared the detail during the Barclays Global Auto Conference, and Roadshow confirmed her statements with the automaker. GM wasn't prepared to share any additional information about the mystery electric pickup truck, but Barra also noted in her comments that GM worked to understand what the typical truck buyer desires, but also what "lifestyle" electric vehicle owners want.
The automaker didn't immediately respond when asked if this vehicle is the electric pickup truck GM mentioned during UAW labor contract negotiations.
