FormerlyGM Powertrain Poland and before thatIsuzu Motors Polska Sp. z o.o. orISPOL was opened in 1996 byIsuzu as a production site forDiesel engines, beginning with theCircle L engine. However, Isuzu's financial troubles causedGeneral Motors to take control with 60% of ISPOL's capital in 2002. Since then the plant manufactured over two million engines forOpel/Vauxhall. The engines are for various Opel/Vauxhall models.
In 2013,General Motors purchased the remaining 40% shares of the Tychy plant fromIsuzu Motors Ltd.[3]
In preparation for the sale by GM of the brands Opel and Vauxhall with the whole of the Opel/Vauxhall automobile business in Europe per August 1, 2017, this factory was transferred in the property of Opel Automobile GmbH, which was sold to PSA.
On March 21, 2018 PSA announced that this factory would be retooled to produce 3-cylinder "Puretech" petrol engines to be delivered toPSA's factory inTrnava,Slovakia, saving hundreds of kilometers in transport, and avoiding to build an engine factory at the Trnava site.
