DETROIT — After unsuccessfully trying to find a buyer for four years, General Motors is giving up on its medium-duty truck business, saying it will wind down manufacturing by the end of July.
That means GM will stop making the GMC Topkick and Chevrolet Kodiak commercial trucks at its Flint Assembly Plant by July 31. The plant employs 2,100 people but also makes Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups.
GM spokesman Jim Hopson said 398 people work on the medium-duty assembly line.
