GM Invests $23.5m for EV Components in Baltimore

Font size: Decrease font Enlarge font

General Motors has announced plans to invest US$23.5m at its Baltimore Transmission Plant to boost production of electric vehicle components.

Earlier this year, GM outlined plans to invest US$246m in Baltimore to build electric motors for its two-mode hybrid system in 2013.

The addition of electric motor production, to begin in 2013, will take place in a separate facility to be built on the same site as the Baltimore plant. The January investment will create about 200 jobs in three states, including Maryland.

Designing and manufacturing electric motors at Baltimore Transmission allows GM to make the motors in-house to reduce costs as well as improve performance, quality, reliability and manufacturability.
