GM to invest in Fairfax assembly plant

19/12/2006

General Motors is investing $208 million in its Fairfax assembly plant in Kansas City, USA, to prepare the facility for production of the all-new 2008 Chevrolet Malibu.

The investment covers expansion of the plant’s body shop and the purchase of equipment needed to make the new Malibu. The plant currently builds the Malibu, Malibu MAXX and Saturn Aura, with a Hybrid Saturn Aura scheduled for release in early 2007.

The all-new Malibu will make its debut in January at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit and will go on sale in autumn next year.
