In a move to improve competitiveness, General Motors said that it
will combine its Allison Transmission and its GM Powertrain divisions,
effective immediately. GM said the combination of the transmission and
motor engine units will not result in any job cuts and have no impact on
customers.
Under the new structure, Lawrence Dewey, president of Allison
Transmission, will report to Thomas Stephens, group vice president of GM
Powertrain, which makes engines for GM cars and trucks as well as
inboard boat motors.
