General Motors Co. and Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. announced the companies have signed an agreement for Nissan to produce a small cargo vehicle that GM will sell in the United States and Canada. GM will procure the vehicle from Nissan and distribute it through the Chevrolet dealer network. GM expects the Chevrolet City Express, based on the Nissan NV200, to be available for sale in the fall of 2014. Nissan currently sells a version of the vehicle as the NV200 in numerous markets globally, including the United States and Canada. Cost of ownership for the vehicle is among the lowest in the class due to low running costs, the high efficiency of the engines and drivetrains and a safety structure that helps to minimize crash damage. The price of the Chevrolet City Express will be announced later.

General Motors unveiled a state-of-the-art $130-million enterprise data center that will serve as the computing backbone for the automaker's vast global operations. The center, benchmarked against the best in the world, is the capstone of GM's efforts to transform its IT operations to help the company work smarter and faster from the design studio to the factory to the showroom floor. Located at its Technical Center in this Detroit suburb, the facility is the first of two Information Technology Operations and Command centers that bring in-house GM's global IT infrastructure and consolidate a network of multiple sites. The two centers will integrate and streamline all aspects of product development, manufacturing, marketing, sales and OnStar applications to speed access to any GM employee anywhere in the world.
