The US auto giant, General Motors Co., said Monday that it will spend more than US$21M up-grading its Flint Assembly plant to build the 2011 light-duty Chevrolet crew cab. It is the latest production increase and capital investment announced by GM since it emerged from bankruptcy July 10 with 50B US$s in federal aid. According to a Detroit News report, GM will spend money renovating the existing heavy-duty assembly process and installing new machinery, equipment and tooling. Construction is expected to start in the Q-4 Y 2009 production starting in July 2010. GM also is investing US$43M to build lithium-ion battery plant in a Brownstown Township industrial park near Detroit that will supply a key component of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range electric vehicle
