GM plans to expand production of future internal combustion engine (ICE) heavy-duty truck powertrain products with a $920 million investment in its Duramax (DMAX) Brookville, Ohio facility.
The 1.1 million-square-foot expansion will more than quadruple the current size of the plant. The investment will also add new technology and equipment.
The investment will bolster the company’s full-size truck businesses and provide jobs. The hourly workers of the Brookville facility are represented by the International Union of Electrical Workers-Communications Workers of America (IUE-CWA) Local 755.
