General Motors is re-jigging its assembly footprint for the Chevrolet Cruze, adding assembly at a Mexican facility as other plants, like Australia, wave goodbye to GM's global small car.
According to Reuters, GM's facility in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico joins Lordstown, Ohio and China as the third plant that will build the next-generation Cruze. Under the terms of a deal reached last year, GM will reportedly build the Cruze in South Korea starting in 2017. Mexican production of the Cruze will be primarily for the domestic market.
GM's decision to pull out of Russia will likely leave that market without a locally built Cruze, while the end of production in Australia will do the same for the Holden-badged version. That leaves Brazil, Thailand, India, Khazakstan and Vietnam as potential assembly locations – or sites that could get cut.
