MISHAWAKA, IN. -- A slowdown in production of the Hummer H2 is prompting A.M. General to cut 160 jobs at its Mishawaka plant.
A.M. General spokesman Craig Mac Nab said the job cuts were needed because General Motors has ordered that fewer H2 vehicles be produced for next year.
The layoffs will leave the H2 plant with between 300 and 400 workers by the end of the year. That's less than half the work force it had a few years ago.
While A.M. General is cutting production of the civilian H2, it has had trouble keeping up with orders for the military Humvee that is built at an adjacent factory.
Mac Nab said some of the workers being laid off from the Hummer plant could be hired to build the Humvees.
