Hold-up in the Entry of New Diesel Truck Engine By GM Motors

Due to a great fall in financial situation GM got to holdup one of its most advanced engine designed of 4.5-liter diesel which is useful for light duty trucks. A spokeswoman by name Susan Garavaglia stated that now it’s totally gonna be great tough time for them as they got make tough decision right now.

Truck users were eagerly waiting with great enthusiasm for the entry of the engine which would’ve started production next fall at GM’s plant in Tonawanda, N.Y. A unique cylinder is there in the engine that eradicates the exhaust and the intake manifolds. For crankshaft-bearing journals and oil circulation system, highly developed castings are there in this light weight block.

In Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra GM planned to incorporate this engine and this would’ve resulted to fuel-efficient truck priced for which must’ve been less than heavy diesel-powered trucks which are in the market these days.

Prior to US auto task force this is set to find whether automaker needs an additional sum of $16.6 billion in federal aid. GM, kept afloat by $13.4 billion in U.S. loans which have been acquired so far, is trying to shed brands, sell assets and curtail spending as it struggles all over the world fall down in auto sales after four profitless years.

This is really beneficial for GM if this will continue, since Diesel is of more preference right now because of its continuously decreasing price in the market. More trucks especially from certain Trucks Suppliers are relying on Diesel engines.
