General Motors to invest $341 million for diesel engine plant in Poland

General Motors has made a commitment to invest $341 million USD (250 million euros) at the company's manufacturing facility in Tychy, Poland. GM plans to invest the amount in building its new-generation mid-size diesel engines which are expected to arrive later in 2017.

The Tychy plant in Poland will see an expansion of 30% as it undergoes a transformation from just an assembly facility to a full-fledged production plant. The complete makeover will be completed by, as early as, 2016 and it is expected the churn out 2 lakh units a year.
