General Motors shifts gear to produce 10,000 ventilators per month

General Motors will mass-produce more than 10,000 ventilators per month as it ramps up efforts to help health authorities combat the deadly coronavirus in the US. The US car giant has formed a partnership with medical supplier Ventec Life Systems to manufacture “critical care” ventilators. Part of a General Motors facility in Indiana – that specialises in automotive electrical components – has been repurposed for the health emergency.
