Description
GM Toledo, North America's most productive rear-wheel-drive transmission plant, employs more than 1,400 people. Founded in Toledo in 1916, Toledo Transmission employees produced truck transfer cases and transmissions for four- and six-wheel-drive military trucks throughout World War II. Today, housed in a state-of-the-art 750,000 square foot addition to the original building on Alexis Road, Toledo Transmission team members proudly manufacture and assemble GM's fuel-efficient Hydra-matic 6L80 and 6L90 rear-wheel-drive transmissions. In June 2010, Toledo Transmission launched the highly acclaimed Global Front-Wheel-Drive 6-Speed 6T40. The RWD transmissions built in Toledo are shipped to GM's assembly plants in Arlington, Texas, Bowling Green, Ky., Ft. Wayne, Ind., Flint, Mich., Wentzville, Mo. and Oshawa, Canada; and the FWD transmissions are shipped to Fairfax, Kan. and Lordstown, Ohio. Powertrain Toledo was ranked No. 1 in the Harbour ReportTM nine of the last twelve years. GM Toledo's "Joint Partnership Process" with Local 14 UAW works effectively for the benefit of our employees, customers and community.
