General Motors announces more plant closures

Posted: Updated:

SHREVEPORT, LA (KSLA) - General Motors has announced that it will close five more plants, but many are questioning, which five plants?

The question is one GM has yet to answer, but industry experts think overcapacity is likely to claim one of the company's remaining pickup truck factories.

Analysts say the assembly plant in Shreveport could be at risk.

The factory makes the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks, along with the Hummer H-3 and H-3T.

Sales of trucks have collapsed, while GM has already announced plans to sell the Hummer Brand with sales falling by nearly two-thirds.
