Quick Takeaways
- GM Argentina Tracker production will continue on a reduced schedule at the Alvear plant through 2026.
- The Chevrolet Tracker remains central to GM Argentina’s manufacturing strategy amid ongoing adjustments.
On January 19, reports indicated that GM Argentina Tracker production will continue under the same reduced operating framework at the company’s Alvear plant in Santa Fe throughout 2026, extending a production scheme that has been in place since 2023.
The Alvear facility has seen a significant contraction in its workforce over the past two years. Employment levels have declined from more than 1,000 workers to approximately 600, primarily through voluntary separation and early retirement initiatives introduced by the company.
Alvear remains Argentina’s only automotive plant producing a redundant vehicle model. This approach has been used to mitigate the risk of stock shortages linked to import restrictions, as the Chevrolet Tracker is also manufactured in Brazil, providing supply flexibility for the automaker.
Following the reopening of vehicle imports, several other automakers operating in Argentina have moved away from similar redundancy arrangements. GM Argentina, however, has opted to maintain the existing production structure at Alvear as part of its broader manufacturing strategy.
According to union sources, the plant will continue operating for three weeks each month. During this period, employees will receive 75% of their regular wages while the reduced production schedule remains in effect.
