INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The White House says President Barack Obama will talk about plans for dealing with rising gas prices when he travels to Indianapolis on Friday for a postponed visit to an auto parts manufacturer.
Sunday's announcement says Obama will tour the Allison Transmission plant in Indianapolis, then talk to workers about his plans "to protect consumers against rising oil prices and decrease oil imports."
Allison Transmission is involved in hybrid vehicle technology and makes automatic transmissions for medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicles.
Obama canceled a planned April 8 visit to the plant to stay in Washington to deal with a threatened government shutdown over the federal budget.
The president's last stop in Indiana was a November visit to a Chrysler transmission plant in Kokomo.
