WASHINGTON — General Motors plans to start importing Chinese-built vehicles into the U.S. in 2011, according to an outline the automaker submitted to the U.S. government. GM currently makes vehicles in China for sale in Asia. But the Detroit company plans for the first time to ship some of them to the U.S. to save on manufacturing costs.
GM told Congress that the company plans to ship 17,335 Chinese-built vehicles to the U.S. in 2011. That figure would jump to more than 38,000 in 2012 and more than 53,000 in 2013, the document states. Dow Jones Newswires
