GM Defense says it is renovating North Carolina building for ISV work

GM Defense said today it has begun renovations on an existing GM building in Concord, NC, to support production of the Infantry Squad Vehicle.

The company in June won an Army contract to build, field and sustain the new Infantry Squad Vehicle. The deal marked the first major contract for GM Defense since General Motors reestablished the subsidiary in 2017.

"Construction at the 75,000-square-foot facility is expected to continue into early spring, and the production line will begin delivering vehicles in April," the company said. "As GM Defense ramps to full-rate production, the facility will help to manufacture 649 ISVs and will support the production of up to 2,065 vehicles with additional authorization over eight years."
