GM bosses have hinted that his company planned to put a plug-in into mass【C15】______ . It is an indication of how the pace is 【C16】______ in the race to develop more eco-friendly cars.
Others are more【C17】______ . Carlos Ghson, the boss of Renault and Nissan, who is 【C18】______ for his skepticism towards hybrids, said he still had doubts that hybrid technology is【C19】______ for the mass market, stressing that plug-in hybrids will have to wait until battery technology improves.
