General Motors has Mexico's clearance to restart plants there with safety protocols similar to those in the United States.

GM is opening three assembly plants and powertrain and stamping plants that support them in a gradual restart beginning Thursday night.

GM’s Silao plant in Guanajuato, Mexico, is one of the biggest auto plants in the large Mexican industrial state. The Silao plant is critical for GM because it builds some of its light-duty pickups in Mexico.

GM said it will restart the engines and transmissions plants in Ramos Arizpe and Silao complexes, located in Coahuila and Guanajuato states respectively, Thursday evening.

GM said its assembly plants within the Ramos Arizpe and Silao complex could tentatively restart operations Friday, depending on the status of their suppliers. .

The restart date of GM's manufacturing operations in the complexes in Toluca and San Luis Potosí is still being determined, GM said.

GM de México has developed a robust health safety protocol, following the actions that the company is taking globally and in line with the recommendations of the World Health Organization, the Ministry of Health and other authorities, the company said.
