GM's Powertrain plant is part of the company's effort to boost fuel efficiency. The plant produces thousands of torque converter clutches a day, in 4-speed and 6-speed. The 6-speed clutches have greater fuel economy than 4-speeds. GM invested $3.1 million in the Spotsylvania plant so it could create single-plate and dual-plate 6-speed clutches.

Comments

  • The plant's workforce has shrunk in recent years, as GM offered incentives for employees to retire. The plant used to be a 24-hour, three-shift operation. Today there is one shift.
