April 22, 2021: -The all-electric Lyriq crossover will mark the starting of the end for traditional internal combustion engines at Cadillac when the recent EV arrives in dealer showrooms in the first months of the coming year.
According to the Lyriq, the first EV of Cadillac is the first in a new lineup of electric cars and SUVs for the brand as its planning to make all-electric vehicles exclusively by 2030. Rory Harvey, global vice president of Cadillac.
“We will be leaving this decade as an EV brand as things stand today,” he told reporters in an online media for the Cadillac Lyriq of 2023. “We will not be selling ICE vehicles by 2030.”
Motors, the parent company of Cadillac, previously said a majority would be all-electric vehicles by the end of the decade if not all of its Cadillac cars and SUVs sold globally. But Harvey’s comments take it a step further, reconfirming the plans and saying “Cadillac will not spend capital on its current lineup outside of updates, also known as mid-cycle refreshes, to vehicles on sale already.
Cadillac will lead GM’s plans to offer EVs by 2035 exclusively. Including nearly 30 new EVs by 2025 for a $27 billion investment plan in electric and autonomous vehicles in that time frame.
The Lyriq, beginning at $59,995, will be from the first to market with GM’s next-generation EV platform and battery system, called Ultium. The vehicle will only come in one configuration for the first model year to simplify the production.
On Wednesday, GM released pricing, photos, and details of the production version of the vehicle, which widely resembles a show car version from last year. As promised by GM, changes broadly include a few design tweaks such as smaller wheels and more prominent side mirrors to meet U.S. regulations.
“The intent was to take the show into production,” said Andrew Smith, Cadillac executive director of global design, color, and trim. Including new signature lighting and an illuminated Cadillac emblem on the front end. The Lyriq’s interior also features a curved 33-inch-diagonal advanced LED screen the spans the entire viewing area of the driver.

In an industry as competitive and fast-paced as Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG), standing out from the crowd requires innovation and adaptability. The cracks in the CPG supply chain were exposed long before the global pandemic struck, but the events of the past year only exacerbated the weaknesses.
Supply chain leaders, including VPs, often find themselves making bets with unknown financial consequences. Having started with largely infeasible plans generated by deterministic “one-number” planning systems, compounded by unexpected supply or demand disruptions, they are forced into last-minute adjustments to meet operational and financial goals.
Unsurprisingly, today’s supply chain faces numerous issues, including sustainability, technology, global economic and political instability, talent management, and supply chain resilience. Advanced forecasting algorithms and predictive analytics are used in supply chain management to help organizations of all sizes make better decisions by providing insights into what’s going on in their business at any given moment and predicting future trends.
Ensuring the right products are in the right place and at the right time is critical for companies also dealing with supply chain constraints and a high degree of variability. Uncertainty has become the name of the game and the only way to effectively optimize inventory through continuous, data-driven assessments, planning, and decision-making.
Food Huggers, a consumer brand that designs products to reduce waste at home, may be in an enviable position now but before they found Extensiv Order Manager, managing booming orders and staying on top of inventory was a huge operational challenge. The business has inventory spread across multiple geographically distributed warehouses, with orders received via multiple sales channels, including Shopify storefronts and Amazon.
