“LG is a valued and respected supplier to GM, and we are pleased to reach this agreement,” said Shilpan Amin,  v-p of global purchasing and supply chain at GM. 

“Our engineering and manufacturing teams continue to collaborate to accelerate production of new battery modules and we expect to begin repairing customer vehicles this month.”
