DMAX Ltd., a 60-40 joint venture between GM and Isuzu Motors Ltd., celebrated 10 years of making award-winning diesel engines on Friday.
In ceremonies attended by community and government leaders, company officials marked cumulative production of 1.2 million engines since July 2000. DMAX is the exclusive manufacturer of the award-winning Duramax diesel engine that powers Chevrolet Silverado heavy-duty pickup and Chevrolet Express full size van.
A panel of experts recently selected the 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 3/4-ton heavy-duty, powered by the new Duramax, as best overall diesel-powered truck in the 2010 Heavy-Duty Shootout conducted by pickuptrucks.com.
DMAX also announced a major environmental commitment for the facility – establishing it as a landfill-free operation by Oct. 1. The operation will join 69 GM facilities globally whose manufacturing wastes are recycled, reused or converted to energy. No waste from normal plant operations is sent to a landfill.
