The first pre-production 2012 Opel , the Chevy Volt’s European sibling, rolled off the assembly line at GM’s Pre-Production assembly line in Warren, on April 23.

“We’re right on for producing the Ampera for European markets later next year,” said Andrew Farah, Vehicle Chief for the Ampera “There’s still work to be done, but being able to drive an off our pre-production line is a great accomplishment for the teams here and in Europe.”

GM said that assembly workers will continue to build more pre-production in the coming months and that the pre-production vehicles will not be sold at dealerships, but used instead for testing and validating the production intent as well as developing the final vehicle software and controls. Engineers in Europe and the United States also use them to tune the vehicle’s overall driving .

Most of them will end up being used in and structural integrity testing.egmcartech
