General Motors Co (GM) said earlier this week it intended to initiate production of its Chevrolet Tracker SUV in Argentina in July.

Production plans were discussed by Shilpan Amin, a GM senior vice president and president of GM International, and Argentine President Alberto Fernandez during a meeting in Los Angeles.

A spokesperson for the US company said the meeting “was a good opportunity today to update the government of Argentina on the progress of this important program and the economic benefit it will deliver to the country.”

“The company’s goal is to export the new vehicle to other Latin American countries, mainly to Brazil and Colombia, where 80% of the production will be destined,” the Argentine government said.

In 2017, General Motors Co had announced plans to invest $300 million in its Argentina operations, aimed to produce a new Chevrolet model at its Alvear facility in Argentina’s Santa Fe province.
