GM is reviving the Hummer name, building an all-electric pickup to be sold in early 2022.

GM and FCA reported fourth-quarter and year-end sales and, for the first time, the Ram pickup has outsold the Chevrolet Silverado.

GM is gambling that the military will want to buy its car technology to use on military vehicles. That’s why the automaker started GM Defense.

General Motors customers are lamenting months of waiting for repairs as GM scrambles to recover from a 40-day strike by the United Auto Workers.

General Motors is suing Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and several former FCA executives over a corruption scandal involving the United Auto Workers union.

GM said it sold the assembly plant in Lordstown, Ohio, to a company that has plans to build an electric pickup – called the Endurance – at the site.

GM said UAW workers will resume work Monday, but at some pickup production plants, the automaker is looking for volunteers to start sooner.

GM’s executives have until Thursday to draft a provisional plan that UAW leaders will accept and turn into a tentative agreement for its members.

Ford and FCA workers pay close attention to GM-UAW talks knowing they could be next. They also volunteer to join the picket line, donate goods.

UAW and General Motors bargainers were at it until around 3 a.m. Thursday before recessing and resuming talks midmorning.
