Welcome to GM R&D. Innovation and market responsiveness are rooted in GM's history and form the foundation of our success. How does GM R&D carry on the tradition? By continually sensing the needs of diverse people around the globe and responding with imagination to meet those needs. We are constantly crossing the boundaries of science and engineering to benefit our customers and our world. You can tell by examining the scope of our work at R&D. High-priority innovation programs of strategic importance to GM make up 50 percent of our work; exploratory projects that focus on growing new ideas comprise another 30 percent; and development projects that give researchers a chance to team with GM operating units encompass the remainder. Tour our Web site to learn about the people, projects, and activities that make GM R&D one of the premier research centers in the world.
