This is great news!
But a bit misleading to state “will produce 7000 vehicles this year”. Right hand drive conversion is hardly ‘producing a vehicle’. |

Indeed, but it's not just a case of slapping in a new dash and driving out the door either, it's probably 150+ hours worth of work per vehicle.

Probably also misleading to say HSV is 24 Hour. The article only mentions the RAM line going to 24 Hour

So this article is no different to the RAM going to 24 hour production thread?

I know I am being pedantic. These vehicles are apparently modified in the same factory HSV owned by Premoso is a wholly owned Walkinshaw Company ABN Website "Ram Trucks Australia" is a registered business name of "AMERICAN SPECIAL VEHICLES PTY LTD" ABN website "AMERICAN SPECIAL VEHICLES PTY LTD", in turn is an ATECO company ASIC Website To Say it is the same is to say "you are the same as your unrelated housemate". I would strongly suspect that the H part of HSV would revoke a license if HSV produced a non H car |

ASV are owned by Ateco. I believe that the Silverados, Camaros & the RAMS are all converted by HSV (Walkinshaw) at their Clayton facility. Dr Terry |

Hey Dr Tez please do not equate HSV with Walkinshaw.
HSV is a business name of Promoso (used with license agreement with Holden). Walkinshaw Performance is a separate private company (also owned by the Walkinshaws) Two different companies. Almost certainly a Walkinshaw company is subcontracting the conversion. If it is HSV I will humbly apologise. |

Semantics. And really who gives a shoot? The short version is, there's a joint in Melbourne modifying cars 24hrs a day, good news for employment.

I'm quite surprised with how popular they have been but I see them all he time now.
It keeps people in jobs and cash flowing through the economy so nothing bad can be said about that. |
