GM-Isuzu venture to build more diesels; Duramax may be offered in H2, H3

General Motors and Isuzu Motors Ltd. will boost production of diesel engines at their joint venture in Moraine, Ohio, this year and next.

The 6.6-liter V-8 diesel, called the Duramax, is available in the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups. It will be sold in the Hummer H1 Alpha, a high-performance model, starting this spring. Hummer is looking at offering the Duramax in the H2 and H3, a Hummer spokesman said.

Engine production at the joint venture, DMAX Ltd., is scheduled to reach 195,000 this year and to rise above 200,000 in 2006, said an Isuzu executive. That's up from about 172,000 in 2004.

To expand production, DMAX is spending $50 million on new equipment.
