NEW YORK: General Motors Corp. says it is cutting production by another 117,000 vehicles as a result of lower demand for pickup trucks and SUVs. GM spokesman Tony Sapienza said on Monday that the Detroit-based automaker will achieve the cuts by eliminating one shift each at its Moraine, Ohio, and Shreveport, Louisiana, plants.
Most of the cuts will affect production of full-size trucks and sport utility vehicles. Sapienza says the cuts bring GM's total production cuts to just under the 300,000 units company officials had hoped to cut this year.
