As it furthers its commitment to green technology, General Motors (GM) has poured a whopping $20million into its Bay City, Michigan, powertrain operations.
The additional funding will be used to produce camshafts for the next generation Ecotec engine. The engine is GM’s highest volume and most advanced four cylinder programme – it already features in models including the GMC Terrain, the Chevrolet Malibu and Equinox and the Buick LaCrosse and new Regal.
Total investment in the plant has now reached £62.5million this year as GM aims to be at the forefront of delivering advanced technology. This includes variable valve timing, turbo-charging and direct injection – the latter of which has been present in many Ecotec engines since 2007.
