Bush to visit GM, Ford hybrid-car plants, tout energy initiatives
The man who told Detroit automakers to build "relevant" cars is going to see them made firsthand at two American plants that are building hybrids.
President Bush will visit Tuesday a General Motors Corp. assembly plant and a Ford Motor Co. assembly plant. The White House said late Thursday he would fly to Fairfax, Kan., to the GM plant, where workers assemble the Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx. Workers are building the Saturn Aura hybrid this year. Then he will fly to Claycomo, Mo., to tour Ford's Kansas City assembly plant and make a speech on energy initiatives. The Ford Escape Hybrid, the traditional Ford Escape and the F-150 are built there. Last year, GM announced it was investing $208 million at the Fairfax plant.
