Workers peered through safety goggles as they fitted together parts of the electric motors they were building on a General Motors assembly line in White Marsh, MD.
For now, the parts are made in a factory in Mexico and then shipped to Baltimore County, MD for assembly. But not for long.
By the end of the year, motors for cutting-edge electric vehicles will be built from scratch in a sprawling $244 million plant under construction next to GM's factory, now called General Motors Baltimore Operations.
About 189 workers will be hired to build the motors for a new generation of plug-in electric and hybrid vehicles, joining the 220 employees at the existing plant. The new plant's first order of business will be building motors for the Chevrolet Spark, a five-door mini-car with a hatch that GM plans to roll out in 2013, according to a company spokeswoman.
