GM is spending US$4 billion to overhaul the Bolt plant for production of electric Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups starting next year.

The system, which debuts in 2024 on the Cadillac Celestiq, can handle 95 per cent of scenarios but will ask the driver to take over for complicated maneuvres. 

Chevy says the car, arriving later this year, will be the quickest Corvette yet with a 0-to-60 mph time of just 2.5 seconds.

Johan de Nysschen, who previously worked for Audi, Infiniti and Cadillac, framed his departure from VW as a retirement from the auto industry and a chance to "truly relax."

GM's truck brand aims to solidify its position as the top seller of pickups priced at $75,000 and up.

General Motors Canada  says it’s working toward a solution to get more salaried employees back in the office as COVID-19 restrictions continue to fade away in most jurisdictions. 

The 2024 model, scheduled to go on sale in the first half of next year, will offer an off-road ZR2 trim for the first time.

GM still expects full-year adjusted earnings to come in at "the high end of our guidance," CEO Mary Barra said.

GM plans to distribute up to 10 chargers to each of its dealerships in the U.S. and Canada starting early next year.

The Grand Cherokee 4xe plug-in hybrid is scheduled to reach North American dealerships in early 2022, following the arrival this fall of the redesigned two-row SUV.

The automaker said it now expects to spend US$35 billion on electric and autonomous vehicles through 2025 and that it would be up to US$4 billion more profitable in the second quarter than previously projected.

GMC will begin taking reservations for the high-performance pickup after the reveal, which was rescheduled from May.

The suit, filed in June, was dismissed Oct. 29 at Reid Bigland's request, according to court records. The FCA sales chief and head of FCA Canada intends to file an amended suit against his U.S. employer in December.

In 2018, Mexico accounted for more than a quarter of General Motors' North American production for the first time. That proportion will rise further if the company goes through with ending production at five plants in the U.S. and Canada this year.
