General Motors – which plans an all-electric vehicle lineup in about a dozen years – is continuing a series of investments in gasoline-powered trucks.
Officials with G-M say the automaker is investing more than 600 million dollars in its Fort Wayne…Indiana assembly plant…to build gas-powered light-duty pickup trucks.
Experts say the highly-profitable vehicles are key for G-M to earn enough money to fund the automaker's transition to an all-electric fleet of models by 2035. The Indiana plant upgrade is G-M’s fourth recent investment in the internal combustion engine.
The automaker is also putting significant dollars into re-tooling facilities in Flint… Canada…and Texas.
