General Motors to invest half a billion into the next generation of Ecotec engines

The 2010 Chevrolet Equinox features a 2.4L Ecotec four-cylinder that allows it to achieve a 32 mpg highway EPA rating. While that might be best in class now, that figure probably won’t hold up in the future. So for that reason, General Motors has decided to invest $494 million into three separate plants; one in Tonawanda, New York, another in Defiance, Ohio and the final plant in Bay City, Michigan. This move will also add 470 jobs to the U.S. economy and produce an as yet unnamed size of the new Ecotec. For more details and GM’s official press release, head on over to Autoblog.
