GM is renovating a facility in Concord, North Carolina to support production of the Infantry Squad Vehicle (ISV), a light and agile all-terrain troop carrier intended to transport a nine-Soldier infantry squad. GM Defense was awarded a $214.3 million contract in June 2020 and celebrated the delivery of its first ISVs to the U.S. Army in October of the same year, just 120 days from contract award.
