The factory’s fate came into the political
spotlight after President Donald Trump criticized
GM’s decision to shut it down and threatened to
cut off all federal subsidies to GM.
Vice President Mike Pence visited the factory in
June for the unveiling of the new truck and the
company’s leaders showed off the vehicle at the
White House in September.
The light duty truck has a range of about
250 miles and is mainly being marketed to
commercial customers such as utility companies
and municipal governments.
