通用兰辛工厂增加一班生产会带来500个就业岗位
为了满足市场对Chevrolet Camaro的预期需要，通用汽车将在密歇根的兰新装配厂增加一班生产，这会为500多个小时工和长工带来就业机会。雇佣工作一旦完成，第三班就会实施，工厂的员工数量将达到2,300左右。雇佣工作正在进行中，第三班有望于第二季度开始。兰辛地区工厂经理Mike Trevorrow说，“这是兰辛工厂生产高回报车型的结果，也是通用信任我们团队能够为客户生产世界级别质量的结果。”UAW Local 652主席Mike Green补充说，“这对兰辛工厂来说是令人兴奋的时刻。我们仅仅增加了Chevrolet Camaro车型，就扩大了UWW-GM家族，将来一定会提高工厂的产量。这真是新年的好兆头。”通用汽车自2015年10月开始从工厂运输Camaro汽车，11月中旬抵达经销处。这是自1992年以来，首次在美国生产该车。在过去的几年里，通用向兰辛工厂共投资大约6.7亿美元。投资中包括4,450千万美元的物流中心。该物流优化中心占地37,000平方米，毗邻工厂，从去年第一季度开始投入运营。2015年末，兰辛装配厂接收第一批冲压设备，用于生产Camaro, Cadillac ATS和CTS系列，这些汽车都是在同一个生产线里生产。
