Three assembly plants run by Hitachi Automotive Systems have gone to resume their activities following the severe devastation and tragedy that has fallen upon Japan due to a massive earthquake and tsunami earlier this month.
This spells good news for General Motors and the industry as a whole, as the Japan-based plants were responsible for producing the lithium-ion batteries for the upcoming eAssist systems that will be featured in the 2012 Buick LaCrosse and Regal sedans, and engine control modules for certain GM vehicles. As a result, GM has put its Shreveport, LA plant back online as well.
