LORDSTOWN, Ohio - The local automotive plant responsible for one of the best-selling compact cars in the United States will receive a large investment from General Motors to build the next generation of the car.
According to a release, General Motors will invest $220 million for tooling and equipment to build the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze at the facilities in Lordstown and Parma. Lordstown will receive $200 million and Parma will receive $20 million. Production timing of the next-generation Cruze will be announced at a later date. The new model will offer new exterior and interior styling, improved fuel economy and an improved interior compartment and more storage space.
The Lordstown facility has already built more than 500,000 of Chevrolet's top-selling compact passenger sedan since production started in 2010. The 2012 Cruze is among the best-selling compacts in the U.S. and was named "America's Best Compact Car for the Money" by U.S. News and World Report.
The Lordstown team has been given a lot of credit for the Cruze's production. In a statement, UAW Local 1112 Shop Chairman Ben Strickland and UAW Local 1714 Shop Chairman Will Adams say, "The men and women of Lordstown are working hard to keep the Cruze a top-quality small car choice. The next generation of the Cruze is well earned and we are thrilled to be assigned work that will keep good-paying next generation UAW jobs in the state of Ohio for years to come."
The Lordstown facility has built more than 14.6 million cars in the 46 years since it opened in April of 1966.
