Beyond consumer vehicles, GM also introduced the Silent Utility Rover Universal Superstructure, or SURUS. The platform is a fuel-cell-powered, four-wheel-steer concept that is built on a heavy-duty truck frame and driven by two electric motors. SURUS is designed to serve as the underpinnings for delivery vehicles, trucks or even applications like an ambulance.
