US based automaker General Motors has announced that they are going to setup a new engine manufacturing plant in Flint, Michigan.

The company said that this new plant would manufacture four cylinder engines. It would also be building powerplants for their upcoming model Chevrolet Volt.

In addition, it would also supply components to their under development high-mileage compact car.
