According to KHABARKHODRO,
The Warren factory, counting 679 employees, now makes transmissions for GM’s large crossover SUVs, the Chevrolet Traverse, Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia, as well as the Chevrolet Malibu midsize sedan. According to company’s data, in 2010, the 2.1 million sq ft Michigan plant produced more than 338,000 transmissions.
GM manufacturing manager Gerald Johnson stated: “While we aren’t sharing many details about this product, I can tell you that this investment demonstrates how GM, working with our UAW partners, continues to innovate and bring new electrification solutions to our customers”.
Close to the Warren transmission plant, GM builds the Chevrolet Volt and Opel Ampera electric cars. Also, it plans to build an all-electric Chevrolet Spark mini car for sale in selected U.S. and global markets starting in 2013.
