More Holden V6s To Head Overseas

Holden has made an announcement to say that it's V6 engine demand has increased internationally.  This has sparked an increase in engine production for the Port Melbourne produced from 320 units per day to 440.

The V6 is shipped to GM China where it's used as a 3.0 litre V6 for locally produced cars.

South Korea, which already imports the V6 for the Captiva, will be exporting extra for a 3.2 litre V6 to feature in Daewoo vehicles.

The US also is a major consumer of our V6 engine and is used to power the Opel Insignia OPC and Cadilac SRX in a 2.8 litre turbo varient.

To meet the extra demand Holden has stated that extra positions are available at it's Port Melbourne assembly line and will be made available to employees at the Elizabeth plant in South Australia.
