General Motors said it will add a second shift to its Spring Hill engine plant in Tennessee and 100 employees in phases next year, reports The Detroit News.
The automaker said it needs to add capacity as it forecasts more demand for its 2.5-liter, four-cylinder Ecotec engine.
According to the automaker, jobs will first be filled by Spring Hill employees and any additional openings would be filled in 2014 from an existing applicant pool.
The 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine powers the Chevrolet Impala and Malibu. The company also builds the 2-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder and 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines in Spring Hill.
