LORDSTOWN, Ohio (AP) -- General Motors Corp. plans to build a new generation compact Chevrolet at its sprawling Lordstown plant in northeast Ohio and add a third shift.
GM Chief Executive and President Rick Wagoner announced the move Tuesday in Wilmington, Del.
He says the GM board has approved a next-generation Chevrolet compact car that will have a 1.4-liter turbo engine and represent a 9-miles-per-gallon improvement in fuel efficiency over current models.
He also announced that a third shift would be added in Lordstown starting in September.
