It's an "extended range" electric vehicle. Meaning it has both a gas and electric engines but runs primarily on battery with a range of up to 40 miles. Once your juice runs out you run on gas, then charge up at home later.

Though it does seem kind of appropriate. The original G1 cartoons were basically 30 minutes toy commercials, so they haven't strayed too far from the original concept.
Note: Not meant as a complaint, just a typed observation. Plain and simple, just about any advertisement they get out about their new products is a good one, especially if it gets people to buy them.

Like you said, it's exposure for GM products and increases their visibility through a blockbuster film that's sure to have a wide audience, including many prospective car buyers. Along with the excitement of the movie this will also create buzz for the products and what better cars to feature than domestics many Americans can feel proud to own, especially the Volt. The ladder I can say after having seen this video I'd DEFINITELY consider, so as long as I could get some nice GM accessories wheels similar to the ones on the car in the film.
