GM to make next- generation Chevrolet Cruze in Mexico
Detroit
GENERAL Motors Co will build its next-generation Chevrolet Cruze compact in Mexico, the company said on Monday, as carmakers look to expand in the Latin American nation to take advantage of low labour costs and free trade agreements.
GM will invest US$350 million to produce the Cruze at its plant in Coahuila, as part of the US$5 billion investment in its Mexican plants announced last year. GM will continue manufacturing the model in Lordstown, Ohio. GM so far has identified only three plants that will make the next-generation Cruze, including in China.
