General Motors is likely to add 1,400 jobs and invest about $450 million at its Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant and Brownstown Township battery assembly facility in Michigan, The Detroit News reported, citing four sources familiar with the automaker’s plan.
It is also expected that GM will announce adding a second shift at the Detroit-Hamtramck plant and investing to build a redesigned plug-in hybrid Chevrolet Volt, the sources said, asking not to be identified because the plans have not been made public.
According to one source, the second shift would be added next year. While another source said the investment also is focused on battery technologies.
