DETROIT– General Motors revealed strategies Monday to invest $632 million for production of its next-generation full-size pickup at a plant in Indiana.
The financial investment is the car manufacturer’s 3rd such statement in the previous week including GM’s next-generation big trucks and SUVs, which are based upon the very same lorry architecture and share some internal parts. The financial investments revealed in current days amount to more than $2.1 billion.
GM stated the financial investment in its Fort Wayne plant in Indiana will support brand-new conveyors, tooling and devices in the plant’s body and basic assembly locations for production of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 designs.
The financial investment in Indiana is more verification that the business prepares to continue to invest in its standard operations to help in moneying its emerging electrical lorry organization.
The business has stated it prepares to specifically provide customer EVs by 2035, consisting of brand-new all-electric variations of the Silverado later on this year and Sierra Denali in early 2024.
The financial investment statements come ahead of agreement settlements in between the Detroit car manufacturers, consisting of GM, and the United Auto Workers union this summertime.
This year’s settlements are anticipated to be amongst the most controversial and essential in current memory, sustained by a yearslong arranged labor motion throughout the nation, a pro-union president and a market in shift to all-electric lorries.
