General Motors plans to significantly increase production at U.S. plants Monday as part of a gradual reopening of its North American operations following March shutdowns due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Most importantly, the company will return American plants that produce pickup trucks such as the Chevrolet Silverado to pre-coronavirus levels of three shifts. It also will begin reopening a plant in Texas on one shift that builds large SUVs such as the Chevrolet Silverado and Cadillac Escalade. All are highly profitable products for the company that are in low supply on dealer lots.
