(Reuters) - The top executives of more than three dozen Michigan-based companies, including General Motors Co and Ford Motor Co, on Tuesday issued a joint statement opposing Republican-backed legislation to restrict voting.
The move appeared to be pre-emptive, after Georgia companies such as Coca-Cola Co and Delta Air Lines Inc endured public backlash for failing to take a stronger stance before that state enacted a raft of voting limits last month. Government must avoid actions that reduce participation in elections - particularly among historically disenfranchised communities, the statement, which bore the names of 37 top executives, read in part.
LG Electronics has a joint business with Magna International, a Canadian mobility technology company for automakers. Together, they have formed the LG Magna e-Powertrain for their collaboration, and it was reported that it is close to signing a deal with Apple for its electric cars.
The LG Magna and Apple deal
If the collaboration is pushed through, LG Magna e-Powertrain will handle Apple’s initial production of its first EVs, so it will not be building vehicles in massive volume. The project will yield the iPhone-maker’s first generation of electric cars and check if this will be a profitable business for Apple since it is new in the field.
