Could Colombia be the first country to build GM EVs in Latin America? GM has had presence as a manufacturing leader in Colombia since 1979,
That was the question Shilpan Amin, President of General Motors International, asked Colombia’s GM team during his visit to this country on February 2 after hearing them say that Colombia’s government was committed to the energy transition. A small question, and yet, it has an entire country dreaming.Mr. Amin’s visit to GM Colmotores Plant, located in Bogota , happened on February 2nd, which had been declared a “Car Free Day.
The response inside the country was massive. Every single news outlet published an article claiming Colombia would become Latin America’s first country to produce GM EVs locally. Some went as far as saying that GM Colmotores would be the first Latin American plant at all to produce EVs, which is of course wrong, as that honor belongs to Ford’s Cuatitlan Plant, located in Mexico DF.
