Opel Ampera in pre-production

[Dr Mordrid]

Volt's European sibling has entered pre-production, the step where tooling and the production line procedures are finalized. Voltec power-train of course and the first ones will be tagged 2012, even though it may arrive a bit earlier. Pre-production is being done in Warren, MI where the Volt was born, but the works would be moved to Europe for production there just as Volt production will actually be done in GM's Poletown plant in Detroit and in China for the Asian market.

Yes, the apple trees are massively blossoming in Michigan.
