DETROIT (Reuters) – General Motors is moving to increase production of light-duty trucks out of its Fort Wayne, Indiana, assembly plant, according to a webcast sent to plant employees and obtained by Reuters.
The moves comes after the Trump administration announced 25% tariffs on auto imports.
GM also makes the light-duty trucks in Mexico and Canada.
The Detroit automaker may also add overtime days to the schedule, Plant Director Dennys Pimenta told employees in the webcast. The moves will increase employment there with the hiring of several hundred temporary workers, according to a company source.
