You are confused about what General Motors Diesel Division was. It did not produce vehicles! GM Electro-Motive Division (EMD), formed in 1941, produced locomotives and locomotive engines. GM Truck and Coach Division, formed in 1943, produced and marketed GMC buses and trucks. General Motors Diesel (GMD) formed in 1949, not General Motors Diesel Division (GMDD) formed in 1938, was the Canadian subsidiary of GM until it was renamed Diesel Division of General Motors, Canada. The GM Cleveland Diesel Engine Division manufactured large marine and stationary diesel engines for outside customers and, from 1938 to 1941, locomotive engines. It was absorbed by GM Electro-Motive Division in 1962. The GM Detroit Diesel Engine Division, formed in 1938, produced smaller diesel engines for outside customers. ''GMDD was formed concurrently with Cleveland Diesel and Detroit Diesel, before GM produced diesel-powered trucks and buses themselves. It existed solely to market, and provide support for industrial customers of, Cleveland Diesel and Detroit Diesel products.'' If you want to dispute any of that, do so on the talk page before reverting to the "multiple issues" version of the GMDD article. |

Sir:
You are confused about what General Motors Diesel Division was. It did not produce vehicles! GM Electro-Motive Division (EMD), formed in 1941, produced locomotives and locomotive engines. GM Truck and Coach Division, formed in 1943, produced and marketed GMC buses and trucks. General Motors Diesel (GMD) formed in 1949, not General Motors Diesel Division (GMDD) formed in 1938, was the Canadian subsidiary of GM until it was renamed Diesel Division of General Motors, Canada. The GM Cleveland Diesel Engine Division manufactured large marine and stationary diesel engines for outside customers and, from 1938 to 1941, locomotive engines. It was absorbed by GM Electro-Motive Division in 1962. The GM Detroit Diesel Engine Division, formed in 1938, produced smaller diesel engines for outside customers. GMDD was formed concurrently with Cleveland Diesel and Detroit Diesel, before GM produced diesel-powered trucks and buses themselves. It existed solely to market, and provide support for industrial customers of, Cleveland Diesel and Detroit Diesel products.
