So far, so good with AM General's MV-1.
The South Bend-based company started production of the MV-1 LX model, or luxury edition, in May at its Commercial Assembly Plant in Mishawaka, and many already have been delivered to dealers.
"We are definitely on target, and we are progressing very, very well," John Walsh, vice president of sales and marketing for Mobility Ventures, said, referring to the lineup of MV-1 vehicles. "The LX was part of our original plan."
Besides the LX, the company also produces the SE or standard model and the DX or deluxe. The production of the new model will not result in additional employees being called back, Jeff Adams, AM General spokesman, said.
The company called back about 200 workers in February because of the resumption of production of the MV-1 and planned orders of the Humvee by foreign military.
