GM To Invest $893M to Produce New Generation of Fuel Efficient Small Block Truck and Car Engines

General Motors will invest $893 million to produce a new generation of small block truck and car engines which will offer improved fuel efficiency through direct injection and an all-new advanced combustion system design.

The new engine family will rely exclusively on aluminum engine blocks, which are lighter and contribute to the improved fuel efficiency. In addition to being E85 ethanol capable, these engines are being designed with the capability to meet increasingly stringent criteria emissions standards expected throughout this decade. GM said that specifics about the engine capabilities as well as product applications will be shared at a later date.
