“GM Powertrain” is a Research and Development center and in September 2008 it moved to the new structure of the Polytechnic of Turin, making General Motors the first automotive company to become a physical part of the University Campus. GM Powertrain Europe-Turin represents a strategic asset for GM globally and is the center for diesel engine innovation and development and where propulsion systems are designed for Opel, Chevrolet, and others. From design to the study of virtual components or tests on engine benches, everything takes place in the laboratories and test cells of the new GM Powertrain Europe Research Center in Turin.
