By CATHERINE MUCCIGROSSO | The Charlotte Observer | Published: May 5, 2021 CHARLOTTE, N.C. (Tribune News Service) — Army vehicles are officially in production in Concord, and a NASCAR team helped. GM Defense, a subsidiary of General Motors, on Tuesday celebrated the opening of its 75,000-square-foot manufacturing facility near Charlotte, where U.S. Army Infantry Squad Vehicles will be made. Fort Bragg in North Carolina will be the first to receive deliveries of the vehicles, the Observer previously reported. The plans will produce all-terrain troop carriers called Infantry Squad Vehicles. The ISVs are strong enough to carry nine soldiers but have a light enough frame that it could have been used in a race car.
