International Exits Springfield Plant, Ends CV Series Production

Key Details International Motors is selling its Springfield Assembly Plant to Canadian manufacturer Roshel, marking the end of the CV Series truck line. The sale follows General Motors' decision to discontinue its Chevrolet Silverado medium-duty lineup, which was produced under contract at the Ohio facility. CV Series production will cease September 10, with the plant transfer affecting approximately 1,325 employees who will move to Roshel upon deal completion. Why It Matters The Springfield facility represented a significant portion of International's Class 5-6 capacity, with the company selling 14,098 Class 5 and 6 trucks domestically in 2025. The CV Series, launched in 2018 as a GM joint venture, becomes obsolete with the automaker's elimination of its 4500 HD, 5500 HD, and 6500 HD models. International's MV Series remains available in Class 6 configurations as an alternative. What's Next Roshel, a Brampton-based defense and commercial vehicle manufacturer, gains over 2 million square feet of manufacturing space across the Springfield complex. The facility, which has produced trucks since 1961, includes assembly lines and paint booths on 500 acres. International's contract with GM for Silverado production was set to expire September 30, 2026, prompting the company to seek a long-term buyer for the site.
