General Motors will add a third shift to its plant in Lordstown, Ohio, when it kicks off production of the new Chevrolet Cruze, two sources familiar with the plan said. The Cruze is ready to go on sale in the third quarter of 2010. Adding a third shift to the Lordstown plant would make it the sixth\u00a0GM North American factory to operate at more than 100 percent capacity: two standard shifts, five days a week.<\/p>\n

The factory currently produces the Chevrolet Cobalt, which is scheduled to end production in June.<\/p>\n
