Indiana’s largest military contractors are questioning their future operations as they await word on whether the U.S. Department of Defense will lose up to $1 trillion in funding in the next decade.
The AM General factory in northwest Indiana started building the MV-1 car last year for the Vehicle Production Group.
The northern Indiana factory where AM General once made H2 Hummers could be building plug-in, hybrid cargo vans under a deal with Anderson-based Bright Automotive announced Friday.
The Army provided no new money for the Humvee in the service’s recent budget proposal, and a spokesman says the 2,620 vehicles
ordered from Mishawaka-based AM General will be the last as the Army moves on to newer designs.
