General Motors Co., Detroit, will invest nearly $332 mil-
lion in four manufacturing sites to produce more fuel-effi- cient engines and transmissions. Investments will be made at Flint Engine Operations, Flint, Mich., U.S., for a new small Ecotec gasoline engine and upgraded tooling for the current V6 engine. Toledo Transmission Operations, Toledo, will in- crease capacity and tooling to produce an 8-speed automatic transmission and an existing 6-speed transmission. Bay City Powertrain, Bay City, Mich., will produce components for a new V6 engine and for the small Ecotec gasoline engine. Bedford Castings, Bedford, Ind., will produce components for the small gas engine and the new 8-speed and existing 6-speed transmissions. GM also is increasing its previously announced power-
train investment in Romulus Engine Operations, Romulus, Mich., and Saginaw Metal Castings Operations, Saginaw, Mich. An additional $46 million, for a total of $646 million, will support production of the new V6 engine. Since 2009, GM has announced nearly $1.8 billion in
investments for the six Powertrain facilities and investments of more than $8.5 billion in its U.S. operations. Combined, the investments will retain about 1,650 jobs at
the six facilities. Te new small Ecotec gasoline engine is part of a global engine family that could top 2 million engines a year by the end of the decade, based on production in Flint and other locations around the world. Te new engines will offer im- proved fuel economy, higher quality, better performance and reduced carbon dioxide emissions.
底特律的通用汽车公司将给其四家生产厂点注 资近3.32亿美元以生产更高效燃油的发动机及变速 器。此次投资用于密歇根州弗林特的Flint Engine Operations公司生产一种新款小型汽油发动机同时 为现在的V6发动机升级工装，用于托莱多的Toledo Transmission Operations公司将为生产一款8速自 动变速器及目前的6速变速器扩大产能并增加工装， 用于密歇根州贝城的Bay City Powertrain公司为一 种新款的V6发动机和小型的Ecotec汽油发动机生产 零部件，用于印第安纳州贝德福德的Bedford Cast- ings公司给小型汽油发动机和新款8速自动及目前的 6速变速器生产零部件。
通用公司增加了之前宣称的给密歇根州罗穆卢斯
的Romulus Engine Operations公司和密歇根州萨 吉诺Saginaw Metal Castings Operations公司对于 动力总成方面的投资，增加额为4600万美元，投资 总额达6.46亿美元，将用于为生产新款V6发动机提 供资金支持。2009年以来，通用汽车公司给6家动力 总成工厂的投资达到18亿美元。 2009年以来，通用
